Hieronymus Bosch; Adam and Eve

Published 2021-05-25
Using The Garden of Earthly Delights to show how symbols are paired and how they can be used to link the different panels together while giving a new interpretation of the biblical story of Eden and the promised paradise.
Clarification; Adam and Eve do not appear in the 'Hellscape', those are the brave descendants of Adam and Eve who are like them on spirit.

  • Is this is how Bosch interpreted the bible? Eve (before sinning) being the dominate partner was not something specifically mentioned in the bible? In the painting it looks as though she's submissive. Is that more so towards Jesus than towards Adam? Thanks for the video!
