"Death and the Miser" is a painting by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, believed to have been completed around 1485-1490. The work is housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and is part of Bosch's exploration of themes related to sin, morality, and redemption, which are recurrent throughout his oeuvre. The painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel and is categorized as a moralizing piece, typical of Bosch's late-medieval period, which seeks to convey a message about the consequences of human actions, particularly the folly of avarice.

The artwork depicts the moment of death of a miser, a person who has accumulated wealth throughout his life and is now confronted by death, represented by a skeletal figure entering through a door, holding an arrow aimed at the miser. The scene is filled with symbolic elements that illustrate the tension between spiritual salvation and earthly possessions. On one side, an angel implores the miser to repent and turn to the crucifix displayed in the window, symbolizing the possibility of redemption. On the other side, a demon encourages the miser to take one last coin from his chest, epitomizing the temptation of material wealth that has dominated his life.

"Death and the Miser" is part of a larger body of Bosch's work that delves into the intricacies of human nature, the inevitability of death, and the choices that lead towards salvation or damnation. The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the interior space, the use of light and shadow to focus attention on the central figure of the miser, and the intricate rendering of objects that each carry symbolic weight. Bosch's use of imagery and allegory in this painting invites multiple interpretations, making it a subject of ongoing scholarly interest and debate.

This work is exemplary of Bosch's unique style, characterized by its vivid imagination, complex iconography, and moralistic themes. "Death and the Miser" not only showcases Bosch's artistic skill but also offers insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of late medieval Europe, reflecting contemporary concerns about death, the afterlife, and the moral implications of earthly behaviors.
