I may only be speaking my ideas out loud here, but maybe what I like about him is that he associates ideas in ways that don't strictly follow logic. It's depictions seem made to captivate and impact the unconscious mind only.
Like, in his depictions of hell he represents lots of musical elements as a way of establishing a relationship between music and lust, but the way he associates those two ideas in the painting itself are incredibly erratic and random. The point, I think, is that it doesn't matter how they are related to each other, only that they are related.
Maybe I could also do something similar:
Say, if in my setting crystals are linked to greed, maybe a curse casted upon a greedy person could be turning their eyes into crystals.
