Bosch, Hieronymus

The Garden of Earthly Delight (Detail, right wing)

c. 1504

Oil on panel

Museo del Prado, Madrid

___

This painting was probably made for the private enjoyment of a noble family. It is named for the luscious garden in the central panel, which is filled with cavorting nudes and giant birds and fruits. The triptych depicts the history of the world and the progression of sin. Beginning on the outside shutters with the creation of the world, the story progresses from Adam and Eve and original sin on the left panel to the torments of hell, a dark, icy, yet fiery nightmarish vision, on the right.

    Hieronymus Bosch from The Garden of Earthly Delights. I love this painting. Goes from Adam and Eve to an orgy of excess...
