FA: HIERONYMUS BOSCH "Garden of Earthly Delights" sculpture
HIERONYMUS BOSCH "Garden of Earthly Delights" sculpture
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120019478834 This is a 14.5 inch tall sculpture titled "Bird with Letter (Grande version)" of a figure from "The Temptation of Saint Anthony," the masterful work by famous "Late Gothic" medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch (Jheronimus Bosch). The inscription on this note in the beak of this birdlike monster on skates could throw a light on the contemplated symbolism. Unfortunately, this text, which is difficult to read, is open to various interpretations, but none of them are proven to be accurate. The postman-like freak is perhaps delivering a letter to the conspiring figures in the hole under the bridge. The funnel on this curious bird's head gives him a preposterous appearance. This headwear is referred to elsewhere as wisdom or absent-mindedness, but that symbolism seems unsuitable here. Visit my store for more Hieronymus Bosch! http://www.bigblocky.net |
