From Heaven to Hell and Back in Hieronymus Bosch’s ‘Garden'

In this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, explore ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’, the mind-blowing masterpiece by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch at the Museo del Prado. Pleasure, sin, and suffering exist side by side in this exquisitely detailed monumental triptych. Painted more than 500 years ago, this epic work has been thrilling audiences ever since. Some consider the work to be a warning about the dangers of carnal sin; others see it as a portrait of a lost paradise. Whatever Bosch’s intention, it is now celebrated as a masterpiece of the imagination. Watch more episodes of Anatomy of an Artwork here: www.sothebys.com/en/news-video...

My favourite painter ever since I was 12. I learned about him in art class, where my art teacher showed us pieces of his work, bless her. I thank her even today for everything that she showed us. For me this tryptichon represents paradise on the left, earth in the middle and hell on the right. Earth is in the middle because it is the actions of people that can be good or evil, that determine which way humanity sways, and one might even say, which directions human souls go. We have a choice, to do good or bad. And all options are open to us. We create paradise or hell on this earth. I visited Madrid Prado museum in 2009 and I was roaming around enjoying the art, not realising my favourite piece of art by Hieronymus Bosch is displayed there. I couldn't believe my own eyes when I saw it. My Spanish friend explained that they call the artist el Bosco in Spain. I was so fascinated by my random find in the museum. I remember examining it and all its details very carefully for some time and not wanting to move on to other displays too quickly. I was so pleased to see it in real life, right in front of me.

Bosch has always intrigued me

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooweeeeee brutha

[@TomorrowWeLive]

Bosch's paintings are like a visual acid trip. I'm convinced Bosch was some sort of time traveller/ascended being-- I just cannot believe that his works were a product of his time, they're too *weird*, and weirdly modern in some places, and just fucking mental.

Tomorrow We Live exactly

[@mebrowneyedgirl]

But he lived in weird times though so that might explain it a nit. I love his art so much.

Reminds me of the Yuga concept of Satyuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparayuga and Kaliyuga.

Heaven and Hell. Good and Bad. Bosch ver! Up or Down. All are equal before God. ONE LORD

[@d.l.7399]

... Of a paradise which is inherent in us, but we are afraid to lose control, while letting go our 'Self'...

[@danruetenik3583]

When you have an artist with this much insight and imagination you get the sense that he viewed humanity as a bunch of idiots with earthly desires

[@aniruddhagowda8072]

where's the music from?

[@laslosermcuseless1574]

Anyone else here from that one stream with that guy who disrespect the art of wrestling and his mate who likes going down warrens of weird stories and events?

It has just been used as the basis for a Korean pop song by Red Velvet called 'Feel My Rhythm.'
