Bosch - The Garden of Earthly Delights

"The Garden of Earthly Delights" is an oil painting on wood by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516), belonging to the period of the Flemish Primitives. The work is structured as a triptych, a format often used by painters from the early 15th century to the early 17th century in the northern part of Europe. It is most often dated from 1494 to 1505, although scholars advance its creation to the 1480s. One of the most enigmatic and complex of the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, who created it in the last part of his life, this triptych is a major masterpiece of the Northern Renaissance. The left panel, from which we have taken details to create our scarves and ties, is dedicated to Paradise, with the creation of Adam and Eve, and the source of Life.
