Analysis Of The Garden Of Earthly Delights

As I was walking across the 17th century art section at Walters Art Museum, hanging behind the big rectangular pillar in the middle of the hallway, an oil painting on panel by Trophime Bigot draws my attention. The high contrasting tones of colors and values and the artist capability to make the grotesque painting appealing interest me.

Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, these are all foods that are located and purchased from our local grocery stores on a daily basis but what we don’t know when we purchase these foods is if it’s just a regular vegetable or a genetically modified frankenfood. In “Playing God in the Garden” by Michael Pollan, Pollan heavily researches genetically altered food more specifically genetically modified potatoes. He focuses on what it is how it's grown what the F.D.A thinks of it, how it looks and compares and contrast it too other non-genetically modified potatoes. Pollan was growing his own genetically modified potatoes while researching the subject and at the end of his essay after doing all the research he decided against eating his genetically modified

In her text, Armstrong continuously analyzes the similarity between religion and art. In fact, she initially starts her chapter with an in depth discussion of images painted in an underground labyrinth dated back from 30,000 BCE. She talks about paintings of different animals, such as an ox, deer, and a jumping cow, that must have had some religious meaning to the

Garden of the Gods is a state park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My children asked me how it came by its name and for any of you who may not understand the reasoning behind its uncommon name, I will explain. The Garden of the Gods consists of rock formations that are stunningly beautiful and graceful against the deep Colorado blue sky. If you picture the Garden of the Gods from the sky, such as how a god would see it from the heavens you will begin to understand why it is called by its unique name. The garden has countless trails through the rocks with panoramic views of breathtakingly beautiful scenery. You can walk through the rocks, on trails the park has marked out for you all year round. The trails go for miles and miles through the historic garden while some extend out to a green valley of grass that offers shade trees and endless dirt paths. This valley is off to one side of the rock formations so it offers a view of each rock separately. The park offers guided horseback rides where anyone from a novice to an accomplished rider can enjoy the park 's views and a slightly faster pace. Trained guides offer not only the phenomenal tour of the state park, but also insightful historic information that any tourist will find interesting. In addition to walking trails and horseback riding, the park is a dreamland for rock climbers. With easy starter rocks that even a child can climb, it is outdoor fun for the whole family. There are also rocks towering over the park that

Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch is an oil on panel painting and was completed during 1505 – 1510. This particular piece is a triptych since it is three separate panels that form one piece of art. The two outer panels fold inward to create one outside panel with another painting. This writing will only be covering the three inside panels. Bosch’s painting is located in the Museo Nacional Del Prado in Madrid, Spain. The painting stands at approximately 7’ tall and 12’ wide. The painting’s main color palette is mostly comprised of blue, red, and green.

The painting itself was created in 1937 and depicts a rural home. Outside it appears that someone has come to visit, as there is a vehicle parked out front and a man standing at the doorway of the house. Inside the home it can be seen that someone has passed away and loved ones are mourning their loss. Above the home there is a spiritual battle taking place for the soul of the deceased. Light has parted the clouds and there is a horse driven chariot followed by a parade of angels coming down from above. The spirit itself is surrounded by even more angels with trumpets in hand, ready to take the soul up to eternal glory. In a nearby tree is another angel who appears busy with a demon who

27. A second painting by this artist is a triptych or three-paneled work. In the first panel, Adam and Eve are being expelled from Eden. In the third panel, there are the tortures of Hell. In the middle panel, a wagon passes through a landscape with all manner of people riding, trying to catch a ride, or being run over, with others walking, standing, or resting along the way. What is this second painting called?

This painting consists of two small panels in which one panel depicts the crucifixion of Jesus and the other portrays scenes that associate themselves with the Last Judgement. In the first panel you can see a crowd surround Jesus during his crucifixion. In the background, you can see a clear picture of Jerusalem. On the bottom you can you see five people that appear to be

It was painted and completed by Joseph Mallord William Turner in England around 1820 and is an oil on canvas painting created during the romanticism era. The story behind this piece is, when a slave ship set out on a voyage they would pack the ships full of slaves, and along the way the slaves would get sick and die so the crew would throw them over board to avoid paying cargo tax. In the painting viewers see a satanic sky and dark murky water with limbs sticking out of it (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). The brush strokes are all sort of slanted down to the right and some are even curled to depict waves that look to be swallowing up the slaves as well as the ship. This painting is very sublime because it has beautiful colors and form yet the meaning behind it all is

24 7/8” and each side panel measuring approximately 25 3/8 x 10 3/4”. This work of art currently resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it is displayed for all to see. This triptych painting exudes a biblical reference whereas the main subjects are Mary

My personal reaction to this art is that they are scary. Also, this is an old painting and it has to do something with religion.

When I see the painting the shape is symmetric in the sense that there are the same amount of people on both sides of Jesus. The genre of this painting is Christian art.There are also four panels on both sides of the walls. In my opinion, the target audience that this painting was intended for are those who are believers of Christ. I feel this way because I think that this painting portrays the event that is talked about in the bible in the scripture Matthew 26, verse 21 where Jesus says “…"Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.". He then continues in verse 23 saying, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me”. In the painting, you can clearly see the man two seats away from his right reaching for the bowl at the same time as Christ. This event lead to the Holy Eucharist, also known as communion or the Lord’s Supper where Christ takes the bread which was to symbolize his body and wine which was to symbolize his

Adam and Eve were the first man and woman to ever be created by God’s image. In the story of Adam and Eve is to believe that God created two human beings to live in a Paradise on earth, called the Garden of Eden, although they had fell from that state it said to be in history that they began humanity, and the loss of innocence.

The works by Hieronymus Bosch have a unique style all of their own. His work is a mix of the imagery of the Memento Mori style and the painting style of the Northern Renaissance. Bosch depicts imagery that is focused on death and what people will end up facing if they succumb to sin. The Memento Mori style focuses on the idea that death is always waiting for you and will always take you into its grasp in the end and lead you into the afterlife. The Northern Renaissance style focused on more realistic works of art and to make them look more naturalized and not man made. The styles of the two eras meld in Bosch’s painting style with the techniques he used for painting and the style of the imagery he used. In several of his paintings he skillfully

I personally get a sense of perfection in a human world when I look at this painting, which is a bit misleading but appropriate for a time in which men were beginning to question the divine and finding answers in the natural world where science and mathematical solutions were starting to make sense of everything around us.
