(15) reversing the tapestry cartoons


When the tapestry copy of El Jardín de las Delicias was made, each panel was reversed left to right, but a painted copy of a painted panel is not likely to be in the opposite direction from the original. Perhaps it makes more sense to reconstruct a hypothetical triptych as shown here, with the haywain going in the opposite direction.
