Show Notes
Hieronymus Bosch created one of the strangest and most talked about paintings in art history: The Garden of Earthly Delights. But there is a riddle hidden in the garden: is it an idyllic paradise or a sinful false paradise? On this episode, we will dive deeper than ever before to search for the answer.
Other questions we will explore on this episode: what makes The Garden of Earthly Delights a work of creative genius? Why do some historians consider it a work of madness? And what do we really know about the mysterious painter: Hieronymus Bosch?
