The Garden of Earthly Delights


Hieronymus Bosch was an Early Netherlandish painter of the fifteen and sixteen century. He is well known for his use of artistic imagery to illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives. One of his most important work is "The Garden of Earthy Delights" which is housed in Museo del Predo in Madrid since 1939 because in the late sixteenth-century, Philip II of Spain purchased most of Bosch's paintings is a triptych made with vivid colors and it was probably intended to illustrate the history of mankind according to medieval Christian doctrine.
Little is known about him and his training since he didn't leave any notebooks or diaries. Because of this reason, it was never easy for academicians to make interpretations about his work and they have often arrived at contradictory interpretations.
Art historian Walter Gibson argues the fact that Bosch's paintings is a world of dreams and nightmares in which form seem to flicker and change before our eyes.
The reason why I am writing about Bosch is that I recently found out an animation film based on Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights painting from a Spanish director. According to Juan Ibanez, the director, the experimental short film hopes to delve into the timelessness of the metaphor as an element of sensitive communication; in how the stories and the data of human experience are interpreted and shown in the artistic act.
The film's pedagogic interest lies in the possibility of offering a new vision of the work of art that is closer to the current visual education which highlights the movement and action over the static-ness of traditional painting. On the other hand, it allows for a deeper comprehension of the symbols which infer and draw closer artistic perceptions from different eras and artistic manifestations.
The teaser of the short animation film can be found at this link:
