THE PARADISE FOUNTAIN:
-"This splendid exotic fountain is situated amidst a blissful paradisiacal scene. Its design is alienating, almost extraterrestrial. In the hole, placed exactly in the middle of the left panel, we can see an owl as a contemplative central figure. Placed in the forefront, Christ introduces Adam to his future wife. Bosch must have subsequently wondered whether, looking at the right panel(hell), this was such a smart idea..."

[-the designers of the Paratsone studios in The Netherlands have brought to live famous paintings by lifting images out of the flat surface. This small-scale figurine motive is lifted from Hieronymus Bosch's (1450-1516) triptych, "The Garden Of Earthly Delights".]
