Good point. Also, Bosch’s stuff (e.g. the Garden of Earthly Delights, which you linked) has a bunch of moralizing/satirizing that’s arguably relevant. For instance, his famous “Ship of Fools” painting is an illustration of Plato’s allegory representing “the problems of governance prevailing in a political system not based on expert knowledge” (or generally coordination issues, rhetoric-vs-demonstrated-skill, etc.).
There’s lots of great paintings of utopias or apocalypses too, like the Garden of Earthly Delights (though not clear if it’s utopic or apocalpytic!)
