This is the summarize of the article:

The painting shows the reality through painting the left panel shows that the Creation and Garden of Eden. The painting is divided into many sections, beginning at the top and ending at the bottom. The right panel is based on the Book of Genesis and the Right panel is based on the Book of Revelation.

The Left panel, in the top we can see there God sits enthroned in Heaven while the world is Created. The Angels toss the Rebel Angels out of the Heaven, when the Rebel Angels thrown out of heaven, they turn into an Insects. Moving downward in the next section the scene shows that God created Eve and introducing her to Adam. The third section the Serpent  offers Adam and Eve a Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of GOOD and EVIL and at the bottom panel, an angel expels Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, and they become ashamed of their Nakedness.


The Right panel shows the Punishment of Adam and Eve's choice, in which the Vision of Hell is shown. A Burning Building can be seen in the background, and in the foreground, there appear to be several demons constructing a castle. To the lower left, a man is being directed towards a castle by two mutated animals. Just in front of the portcullis is a man riding a cow, being pierced by a sword or spear. At the bottom right, a man is running while being attacked by demonic creatures, while to the lower left a man is being devoured by a large human-legged fish.
