Title: The Garden of Earthly Delights Authors: Venue: Wikipedia Year: unknown Canonical: wiki:the-garden-of-earthly-delights URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights Collector: wikipedia OA: true ABSTRACT The Garden of Earthly Delights is the modern title given to a five-panel triptych painted by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, painted between 1490 and 1510, when Bosch was between 40 and 60 years old. Because of Bosch's religious beliefs, interpretations of the work typically assume it is a warning against the perils of temptation. The outer panels place the work on the Third Day of Creation. The intricacy of its symbolism, particularly that of the central panel, has led to a wide range of scholarly interpretations over the centuries.
