Artist (The Bosch)

Today we gona talk about to this netherlens painter. To be honest, I don´t know how is his name in english, i just made de translate but IDK. Well, we gona start.

Jheronimus Boch, that´s was his name, and many peaplo know him for this name. Me, i know like Boshc, but well. Bosch born in netherlands in 1450, in a duchy named Balduque. There´s not much information about his chilhood, in other words, we don´t know nothing about his chilhood, so, isn´t nothing intersting about this, so, let´s go with his adult life.

Life.

Well, we don´t know nothing abput his education like painter, maybe his fahter was a painter too and recive class by his father himself, but we don´t really know. Yeah, his life is not the more intersting but his art yes.

Art.

Well, his art is extremely unusual. In itself it is believed that it is a criticism of the Catholic Christian life of the time, it taught that one had to have a life without sin and as perfect as possible, but being human that is impossible. Bosch with his surrealist paintings wanted to reflect this, that we are human and that no matter how much we want to achieve perfection, it does not come.

It is curious that in the Renaissance someone like this painter came out to practically do something that at the time could look bad and not everyone liked his paintings as expected, but being linked to religion, well, there was an excuse. . Now, let's see one of his most famous works, the Garden of Delights.

Analysis

On the right side I have to highlight some things. It seems like it is just another representation of creation and the garden of Eden, but that is not entirely the case. I would like you to focus on the animals that are at the feet of Adam and Eve. There are several of them and among them there is a unicorn with the body of a mermaid, you may not be able to see it well, but it is there. If we go to the top of Adam and Eve, we can see not only a pink fountain, but also a lot of friends coming out of the water. These have a tail, are black and some have several heads or none at all. Then we have the pink fountain, at the bottom there is a hole where there is an owl, that seems interesting to me and what I want to think about, the pink fountain is the fountain of life, this is because it is spilling water, and these are coming out of the water. same rare animals and many of them drink from this type of lake. Birds, a lot of birds, now a personal taste, are the non-linear shapes of the mountains and their structure with movement, I feel that it creates a fantasy atmosphere, apart from many mythological animals.

This painting is too complex and I can spend a lot of time talking about what is there and what is not, but I am going to say something about the center part. There are two figures that are completely in black with an apple on their heads, I interpret this as if they were Adam and Eve, for me, the rest of the composition of this part and the message it wants to give is about the birth of humanity as a whole. , because there are many, but many people, there are also some at the bottom that I see as if they are being born, others turning into flowers, a person being fed by a duck, it is complex because of its variety of symbolism, representations and interpretations of it author. These black figures are repeated in the middle, and are in the central pond surrounded by many people riding animals. This to me means how the human being dominated the animals and progressed through them, the people in the pond could be the first humans, since they are mostly women, and some have herons on their heads, a black figure has a turkey on the head can symbolize many things, at the top, we see a lake, always with its center of the fountain, which I think is human reproduction. There is so much, so much in the painting that I invite you to see them and draw your conclusions

Now with the "Hell" part, it is simply impressive. I can't tell you what I think because I don't think anything, it is something that is only admirable and everyone has to draw their own conclusions from this part of the work. What I do want to mention is that I find it curious that it represents some beings as nuns. In fact, one of these mojas is a pig. The part of the instruments also catches my attention, I think it has to do with something from the time, but it is curious. The bottom part also gives me an allusion to games and bets, but that is my interpretation.

Final comment

For me, since this research, Bosch has become one of my favorites. And, surrealism is present in each of his paintings, no matter what it is, there is always something that contains symbolism either as criticism or as adoration. But, Bosch has a very beautiful perception of surrealism that I love

Now, Bosch has many paintings, and all of them we can see that surealism, and symbolism. And is so magnificens, you can see one thing in the center line to caputure your atention for more depth, and make de composition from this ponit and if you mpve away from the ponit, you can see more characters, adn fieretn sitation. A genius.
