Hieronymus Bosch Is Actually Scary

A bird on ice skates delivering a letter. An egg with legs staring at us through a crack in its shell. And a demon devouring entire people while expelling them inside blue bubbles. All of these creatures were painted more than five hundred years ago by Hieronymus Bosch. And although at first glance they might seem amusing, art historians have spent more than five centuries trying to figure out what these strange monsters could possibly mean. In this video we explore the most bizarre creatures Bosch ever painted, the hidden meanings experts have uncovered, and the mysterious figure that might be the artist himself hiding inside his own work. ► Shop Hieronymus Bosch's Collection at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/shop-all?gf_684867=Hieronymus+Bosch ► Shop Art Prints & Canvas at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/shop-all ► Shop Fine Art Phone Cases at - https://www.inspiraggio.com/collections/iphone-cases → Join our FREE newsletter: https://www.inspiraggio.com/pages/newsletter → Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspiraggio → Contact: [email protected] 0:00 Introduction 1:44 The Temptation of St. Anthony 3:20 Ship of Fools 5:13 The Last Judgement 6:29 The Garden of Earthly Delights 8:25 St. John on Patmos SOURCES David Bickerstaff — "The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch" The Eclectic Light Company — "Hieronymus Bosch: The Temptation of Saint Anthony" (Dirk Bax's interpretation) https://eclecticlight.co/2016/07/24/hieronymus-bosch-the-temptation-of-saint-anthony-lisbon-and-kansas-city/ DailyArt Magazine — "Hieronymus Bosch's Creepy Owls" https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/hieronymus-boschs-paintings-and-his-owls/ The History of Art — "The Wood Has Ears, The Field Has Eyes" https://www.thehistoryofart.org/hieronymus-bosch/hearing-forest-and-the-seeing-field/ Wikipedia — St. John the Evangelist on Patmos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John_the_Evangelist_on_Patmos_(Bosch) Museo del Prado — The Garden of Earthly Delights https://www.museodelprado.es/en/the-collection/art-work/the-garden-of-earthly-delights-triptych/02388242-6d6a-4e9e-a992-e1311eab3609 #arthistory #art Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
