Hieronymus Bosch

We are also shown how these different forms of art change over time and how different cultures have adopted them and used them as their own form of art to express emotion, love, creativity, and passion. This book teaches us how art is viewed in different ways by the church and was very informative for me to obtain a better and deeper understanding of art and how the churches valued it.

Joan informed the audience of her position on morality by giving examples of when other people were presented with the opportunity to show their own positions on morality. She is able to bring up how people say “It is immoral,” but in the position of making the so called moral choice, they make the choice they were supposedly opposed to. Her use of imagery is very resourceful when she says, “At least some of the time, the world appears to me as a painting by Hieronymous Bosch; were I to follow my conscience then, it would lead me out onto the desert with Marion Faye...”(Didion 3). She mentions the Hieronymous Bosch painting because it is a bizarre painting with obscure images and ties it in with morality by saying that if you follow your conscience the wrong way, you will end up somewhere

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

Jan van Eyck was born during c. 1935 in Maaseik, Bishopric of Liege, the Renaissance period. He had a sister Margareta, and at least two brothers, Hubert (died 1426) and Lambert was active between 1431 and 1442 (Both of them were also painters). Yet the order of their births is not known. Another significant, and rather younger, painter who worked in Southern France, Barthélemy van Eyck, is presumed to be a relation. It is not known where Jan was educated, but he had knowledge of Latin and used the Greek and Hebrew alphabets in many of the inscriptions, indicating that he was schooled in the classics. (From Wikipedia) The first ever record of Eyck is from the court of John of Bavaria at The Hague, where payments were made to Jan van Eyck between 1422 and 1424 as court painter, with the court rank of valet de chambre. This suggests a date of birth

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.

The painting’s main color palette is mostly comprised of blue, red, and green.

Hieronymus Bosch was a unique painter who portrayed the renaissance's beliefs and changing art styles in his unique paintings. His painting, The Last Judgment is an excellent example of this. By the high renaissance (the 1500s) the Gothic and Roman art styles were vanquished and replaced by imitations of Greek sculptures and oil paintings. In many of Bosch’s paintings, The Last Judgment included, he used specific techniques and styles that made his painting unique in the renaissance and no other painter came close to his art. “Bosch employed the type of fanciful forms that were often utilized to decorate borders and letters in illuminated manuscripts combining plant and animal forms with architectonic ones.” These forms give Bosch’s paintings an unparalleled surreal quality. Art styles in the renaissance had become more intricate than the Gothic and Roman styles, though The Last Judgment was not as realistic as other paintings it still embodied the renaissance’s view on

A piece of artwork that is recognized today is the Crucifixion and Last Judgement by the famous artist, Jan van Eyck and his workshop assistant which was made in 1440-41.

Without a doubt, the story of Georges van Haardt is an intriguing one. He was born in 1907 in Poznań as Kazimierz Jerzy Brodnicki, and died in 1980 in Paris. Brodnicki obtained an education in philosophy at the University of Poznań, and later worked as a judge and administrative officer until 1939. In 1937, Brodnicki married Egga van Haardt, a Polish-Jewish painter associated with the Warsaw's bohème, well-known both as an artist and persona, in her art driving upon Jewish and oriental traditions, also baroque, mannerism, and secession. Profitting from Egga's critical recognition, Brodnicki started to sign and exhibit his pieces under her name. With the outbreak of the war, they both moved to France, and after Egga's death in 1944, the artist

To attempt to describe The Garden of Earthly Delights is insane.Nevertheless let’s begin with the facts that lead to this triptych coming about. It was painted in 1515 by a mysterious artist by the name of Hieronymus Bosch he was said to have been born Jheronimus van Aken around the 1450’s in Hertogenbosch, Netherlands during the time of the renaissance.

The North-Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch was considered as the most enigmatic artist of his epoch. According to an earlier Spanish writer, Don Felipe de Guevara, who reports that Bosch painted bizarre and wondrous figures because his themes were so often focus on Hell but that he executed even these creatures with decorum and good judgment. Bosch blends his innovative aesthetic principles into his religious paintings, this could tell in two perspectives: firstly, Bosch’s works presented with them with an astonishingly new version of religious subject matter that mirrored the haunting obsessions of the inner man; second, the numerous imitations and travesties of his pious works that were considered authentic or reliable copies of his paintings had, in fact, only obscured and perverted the true meaning of his are and misled critics in interpreting his religious sentiment. It earned him the reputation of a bizarre visionary.

not realistic at all. The painting is abstract. There are giant instruments, animals bigger than people, and architecture that does not make sense. The images in the painting are symbolic and have no interests looking realistic. The painting his expressionists because the artist reveals his feelings. Bosch shows his Christian belief in this altarpiece, and he is showing sin. “… Sins of gluttony, lust, greed, and sloth…” (Stokstad 699). The School of Athens (1510-1511) shows human high inspiration of learning, while Garden of Earthly Delights (1505-1515)

The present work is focused on undertaking an in-depth analysis of two famous religious paintings: The Virgin and Child by Barnaba da Modena, an Italian painter from the fourteenth century, and The Elevation of the Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, a seventeenth century Flemish artist and diplomat. Following, by comparison, a thorough account of the two works' features, careful observation reveals more than one interpretation.
