Speaking of Satan's munchies, have you ever seen Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights and it's accompanying side pieces in person? I knew the drill, supposed to be scary, etc. I'd seen pics of it in books and was never that impressed. Then in Madrid, I stood in front of it and starting shaking from a panic attack. Live and large, it really is frightening. After a couple of minutes, it gets to you in a very visceral way. Pun intended.
