The Garden of Earthly Delights is a triptych by Jeroen (Hieronymus) Bosch (aka El Bosco in Spain), created between 1490 and 1510. There will be a large exhibition at his place of birth Den Bosch since we're living 500 years after his death in (you guessed it) 1516.

A great favorite of mine, I really like this mans imagination. A truly creative mind!
ReplyDeleteI saw this in Madrid a couple of years ago, but it was surrounded by people and I couldn’t get close. I think this is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I call making excellent use of one's imagination! What fine artwork indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhere to start - where to end. I can well imagine a crowd around this work trying to take it all in.
ReplyDeleteWhile the detail is amazing and speaks to a vivid imagination, I think the impact recieved from giving it that first cursory glance is diminished upon further study. Awesome!
That cowled bird head is frightening (along with the other images)!
ReplyDeleteThe blog is so enchanting. You just can’t be resistant to it.
