The triptych should probably be read chronologically. The left part of the painting represents the creation of the world and Adam and Eve. The middle part of the painting, with its references to earthly pleasures, is a tribute to life, love, pleasure and freedom. It is an explosion of vitality and euphoria, which, however, leads to the underworld... (third part of the picture). The symbolism of the image is simple: God created a world that was clean and that people quickly inhabited. However, people were led astray by evil and turned the world into an abode of self-indulgence and sin. This leads to inevitable punishment. The painting of the picture is crowded with figures from different walks of life, in an infinite number of attitudes and activities. Everything is complemented by imaginary animals, various creatures and fantastic plants. Some of the human beings in the painting are depicted as worms burrowing through giant fruits representing the world. This painting is only a cut out of the entire triptych! The price of the entire set in the size of 180 x 98 cm is 4260 CZK in the design on stretched canvas (valid when ordering the entire set).

Hieronymus Bosch (1450 -1516). Dutch painter whose real name is Jheronimus van Aken (his name is derived from the city s-Hertogenbosch). He came from a family of painters - his grandfather and uncles were all painters. Much of his work is devoted to sin and human moral failure. Bosch painted demons, half-human creatures, to evoke fear and unearth the evil hidden in man. He became famous mainly for his triptychs (the most famous is the Garden of Earthly Delights. He was the first who created and worked with the world of dreams, fantasy creatures, nightmares and fears, as a response to former medieval religious ideas (about deadly sins, a naturally sinful humanity, hell and eternal damnation).
