For centuries, humans have analyzed the negative aspects of their own nature that leads them to falling victim to overindulgence, producing myriads of written pieces and artwork to depict the creator’s portrayal and interpretation. Various forms of abundance, control, and power are vices that humans are drawn to, utilizing them with greed and selfish intent in their hearts. Hieronymus Bosch, a Renaissance-era painter from the Netherlands and most popular for his “invention” of Early Netherlandish style paint, depicts his take on human’s overindulgence of the vices through a world-famous piece titled “The Garden of Earthly Delights”. Created as a triptych, a three-part painting divided into three separate panels, The Garden tells the story of humanity’s empire, from the pure creation of man, to the corrupted result of man’s overindulgence in the vices. Bosch’s heavily references a biblical story, particularly of Adam and Eve, in this piece, a trait common in Early Netherlandish paintings. This painting style makes reference to biblical works as well as heavily emphasizes the use of shadows and light, allowing for the natural aspects of the landscape, animals, and humans within it to appear more life-like. With the painting’s richness in color, detail in linework, and overall composition of the characters within it, Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights” evokes a deeper meaning to the formation and destruction of mankind’s empire through mankind’s tendency towards corruption
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

Politics in the United States has been since the beginning of political existence, intricate and convoluted just as it appears in Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil written by John Berendt. This extract from the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil cultivates awareness through its use of language and generic conventions in giving an insight into the stratification of feudal society of Savannah, Georgia, in the South of America during the 1980s. The two main representations of this extract is the division between black people and white people, as well as the hierarchy of status in which white people are born into and unable to escape from.
I gave an in depth analysis into the painting in many aspects from color to space. This concurred with my thesis of Christ expressing peace and tranquility and providing the differences between his figure and the others surrounding him. I also provided academic quotes to support my thesis. This painting is important to humanity because it gives us insight into what was important to Bosch and the people living in Netherland at the time. Religion greatly influenced the artist whereas in this day and age, religion is usually not prominent in
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.
Estimated to have been painted sometime between 1505 and 1510, The Garden of Earthly Delights was created by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (who was known for his tenancy to create fantasy like figure painting of demons, machines and sometimes grotesque/frightening imagery). This oil painting is composed of three panels (triptych), measuring 13 feet by 7 feet when all the panels are open.
Bosch was a perplexing, enigmatic and mesmeric artist who painted the secular commission ‘Garden of Earthly Delights.” That art historians believe is an iconography that depicts ‘moral warning or a panorama of paradise lost.’ This ‘tryptych alterpiece’ has been discussed by scholars over the years and they have proposed ‘that given the work’s central themes of sex and procreation, the painting may commemorate a wedding, as marriages were a common them of Netherlandish paintings.” The glaring and prominate themes that Netherlandish artist Bosch brought to the Northern Renaissance were
Bosch’s most famous painting is the Garden of Earthly Delight. It has amazing imagery and exaggerations and also contained many vivid scenes. Few painters packed more detail into their work than Hieronymus Bosch. The wings of Bosch’s triptych open to reveal a color filled interior bursting with strange architecture, unnatural landforms, and all types of hybrid creatures. In the main part of the left hand panel, God the Father stands between the naked figures of Adam and Eve, surrounded by various flora and fauna. This is the Garden of Eden, though the scene has a dark side. In the distance, an animal tears at the flesh of his prey. Another one of Bosch’s famous paintings was the Last
Green helmet. Green body. Green blood. Such descriptions refer to a central character in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight--they depict the appearance of Bercilak as the Green Knight. The use of "green" is a reflection of Garden of Eden imagery in the poem that portrays the Green Knight as a tempter, a serpent, in the garden, Arthur’s court. In Genesis’ account of Eden, Adam and Eve live in a perfect, pure garden until the evil, green serpent successfully tempts them. When the serpent tells Eve that consuming fruit from the forbidden tree--the one God warned them not to eat from--will result in the same knowledge God holds, Eve convinces Adam to eat the apple. According to
“The Haywain” which was a three panel painting. In the first panel, Bosch illustrates Adam and Eve. In the center panel, Bosch paints clergy and peasants preforming sinful behavior. Finally, in the last panel Bosch paints hell. The second example is “The Last Judgement” (as shown in figure 4) which he painted in the year of 1504. The center panel shows the fall of humanity. The remaining two interior panels show sin, chaos and violence. The final example that we can use to find out Bosch’s style of painting and different techniques he uses to paint is the “The Temptation of Saint Anthony” (as shown in figure 5) which he painted from 1505 to 1506. In the painting Saint Anthony is being shown resisting evil and then following a group of believers. Bosch painted a lot of painting and is an incredibly huge influence on the art world. Bosch has influenced artists because he would use a lot of symbols in his art to show deeper meaning in the world in the Dark Ages in the world. Bosch would often paint how he imagined problems in the world would be handled or turn out often to warn people about why they should never sin. Bosch influenced people to be good citizens and attend to church by often painting fantasies about hell. Bosch was the most influential Netherlandish painter the art world has ever seen. Unfortunately, Bosch died in August 1516 (that is an estimate because the exact date is unknown) in his birthplace ’s-Hertogenbosch.
These discoveries helped shape the views of 18th century American society. Parallels about religion can also be made by comparing Rappaccini’s poisonous garden and the Garden of Eden. The story contains many biblical allegories which hinted to the viewpoint of that time.
Throughout history, specifically in ancient Rome and Greece, people admired painting to the point where it was taught to every son of respectable families, yet forbidden to the slaves. This goes to show how this form of art in particular was considered fit only to those of high social class. Although it was reserved for the educated and cultured, painting attracted everyone and pleased them equally. In particular, “[n]ature herself delights in painting.”(Alberti 64) Alberti persists in showing us how painting is of nature; he first references nature by saying that Narcissus was the inventor of painting. In the myth of Narcissus, nature plays the role of the artist who paints a portrait so beautiful that Narcissus cannot take his eyes off of it. To further convince the reader of the pleasures painting gives, the author recounts a personal anecdote of how gratifying and relaxing painting can be.
N.H.S. can deliver a Garden of Eden to individuals living on the Earth, and I want to help make that possible. My life goal is to help produce an easier world for human beings living on the Earth. I realize that, even though, I have an immense goal, I am slowly pursuing it by volunteering my time to the community. However, my mother works late, and I take care of my sister every day, which does not give me much time to volunteer. My sister is, now, older, and I have donated more time and energy to the community.
For my art piece, I decided to do a ‘paradox box’, as I’m very fascinated by the flaws regarding the ‘garden of Eden’ section of the bible. Over analysis of the story I have come across several points that made me question the logic to the bible. I’ve recognized a particular problem that can be recognized as a paradox.
Hieronymus Bosch was born in the Dutch municipality of ‘s Hertognebosch, between 1450 and 1455. His exact date of birth is unknown. He spent most of his life in his hometown, and that his father, grandfather, and most of his uncles were also painters. He was an orthodox Catholic and a member of a religious brotherhood. Most characteristics of his paintings are so bizarre, that in the 17th century Bosch was said to have been a heretic. He died on August 9, 1516 in Habsburg, Netherlands. We will examine three paintings by Hieronymus Bosch: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Last Four Things, The Garden of Earthly Delights and The Haywain.
