Allegory of Gluttony and Lust
Allegory of Gluttony and Lust is a Hieronymus Bosch painting. It is currently in the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. The Allegory represented a condemnation of gluttony, in the same way the right panel condemned avarice. The fragment shows a fat man riding a barrel in a kind of lake or pool. He is surrounded by other people, who push him or pour a liquid from the barrel. Below, a man swims with, above his head, a vessel with meat. The swimmer's clothes lie on the shore at bottom. On the right, under a hut, a couple is devoting to lascivious acts, perhaps induced by drunkenness.
