Arguably Hieronymus Bosch’s (1450 – 1516) most famous work, the brilliant and nightmarish “The Garden of Earthly Delights” graphically explores and exposes the human mind’s darkest fears. Unlike other artists of that period who portrayed serenity and reality, “The Garden of Earthly Delights” is filled with chilling symbolism and frightening images of the world’s fall from grace. With masterful use of color and detail, Bosch’s haunting works, collected by King Phillip II of Spain, foreshadowed Surrealism, and still impact artists today.
