Giovanni da Udine was the artist (along with assistants and advisors)

No time for details but a match to an elephant and giraffe in the Stufetta of Cardinal Bibbiena in the Vatican means the circumstantial case against Giovanni da Udine as the author of The Garden of Earthly Delights/El Jardín de las Delicias (against since he seems to have wanted to stay anonymous) is much easier to make than it would be otherwise. Not surprisingly the elephant’s name Anonne (Hanno in English) is a pun on Anonimo or Anonymous.
