A fever dream, incredibly forward thinking for its time, the ancestor of surrealism

I have long been fascinated by Bosch’s body of work, and dream of one day visiting the Prado Museum in Madrid to see his renowned triptych, The Garden of Earthly Delights with my own eyes. But this resource I accidentally stumbled upon one day has satisfied the craving, and then some. This interactive portal is offered by Pieter van Huystee Film, a Dutch independent production company, within which you are free to explore every last nook and cranny of this 525 year old masterpiece, cracks on the surface and all! You can take the tour, wherein a guide with a very soothing and distinguished voice leads you though key images and the motifs within the painting, or you can embark on your own and discover details and secrets at your leisure. The resolution of this interactive is absolutely mind-boggling, accompanied by sound effects and medieval-inspired musical overtures, which evolve and transform with every subject and subtle tone of the work. It is a trip, to say the least. A quest, really. I highly recommend curling up with a cup of tea and diving in. I don’t want to say more than that because I don’t want to spoil it. The sights and sounds you will behold!

i have a lot of posters on my walls, one of them is this painting. i learned about it in my a european history class i took in high school and have been obsessed since. i like to get lost in it. there are so many tiny details that are so fun to look at and wonder how he came up with it.
