Hieronymus Bosch. Garden of Earthly Delights

Ця книга досліджує шедевр Ієроніма Босха «Сад земних насолод». Мало картин надихає на такі напружені дослідження та спекуляції як цей всесвітньо відомий триптих нідерландського майстра.

Now available in a new edition, this book explores Hieronymus Bosch's masterpiece Garden of Earthly Delights. Few paintings inspire the kind of intense study and speculation as Garden of Earthly Delights, the world-famous triptych by Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch. The painting has been interpreted as a heretical masterpiece, an opulent illustration of the Creation, and a premonition of the end of the world. In this book, renowned art historian Hans Belting offers a radical reinterpretation of the work, which he sees not as apocalyptic but utopian, portraying how the world would exist had the Fall not happened. Taking readers through each panel, Belting discusses various schools of thought and explores Bosch's life and times.
