THE EXTRACTION OF THE STONE OF MADNESS (THE CURE OF FOLLY) The Extraction Of The Stone Of Madness (The Cure Of Folly) , completed between 1475 and 1480, depicts the extraction of a "stone" from a patient's head, a common operation in Bosch's time; however, Bosch has exchanged the traditional "stone" as the object of extraction with a flower. Another flower is on the table. It is possible that the flower is pun on "tulip head" - meaning mad in Netherlands. Another possibility is that the flower hints that the doctor is a charlatan (as does the funnel hat). The book on the nun's head also is considered to depict folly. THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS The Garden Of Earthly Delights is a Triptych circa 1504. ''The Garden of Earthly Delights'' is perhaps Bosch's best-known work. It depicts the creation of Earth and the infiltration of sin into mankind. It is currently hanging in the Museo Del Prado , Madrid , Spain . Details from the ''Hell'' panel
