Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted April 30, 2002 If I would have to paint an impressionist/expressionist version of the evening news these days, then it would prolly look like this Hey, who are these 4 skeletons on horses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio 0 Posted April 30, 2002 I'd say that is a rather unusual picture nordin. i have to say, at first i thought you were a nerd and a frea, but you are a really intelligent man, nordin. Art is not what it seems all the time, it defines the breakage of the boundaries between fiction and reality. Good job of posting this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nordin dk 0 Posted April 30, 2002 Now I don't know what to think. Perhaps I'd rather be considered a nerd and a freak? lol But thanks I guess... I always liked Bosch. His apocalyptic visions are still disturbing today, because of their excessiveness and imagination. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">why is there a fat chick in the upper left corner then <span id='postcolor'> So you'd ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 30, 2002 Ahh.. Hieronymus Bosch, my absoulte favourite! He had an extraordenary sense of humor - I'm surprised that he didn't get burned as a heretic. I have a great book, that I can recommend: "Bosch - beween heaven and hell" It has a great bio and a collection of his works: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 30, 2002 Compare the picture that nordin posted to this one, that portrays the garden of eden: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nordin dk 0 Posted April 30, 2002 Denoir, perhaps you could find the original title for the painting? I lost it somewhere in the "translation" @Ex-Ronin: You must be referring to the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, (Pestilence, Famine, War and Death) but I don't see them anywhere in that picture...

nordin dk 0 Posted April 30, 2002 For anyone interested there's a great website about Bosch here. Among other things you'll find an unaltered version of "The Last Judgement" - a triptych depicting Paradise, Judgement & Hell, from which my painting was taken.

Guest Posted April 30, 2002 Which one? The one that you posted is called "The last judgement" The one that I posted is "The garden of earthly delights" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nordin dk 0 Posted April 30, 2002 @Denoir too late I found out in the meanwhile. To anyone: compare Bosch to another famous artist of the time, Peter Brughel the Elder, and his probably most famous painting: The Tower of Babel. (too large to hotlink) Anyone who've read Paul Auster's "New York Trilogy" will have a special relationship with this picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 30, 2002 It's too bad that there is no complete collection of Bochs' works. They are pretty much distributed all over Europe. I got  a quick glance of "the last judgement" last year in Wien, but I really just rushed through the museum since I had very little time. I was going to Barcelona and I had to switch planes in Wien and had a couple of hours between the flights. The Uffizi museum in Firenze has a lot of renaissance works, but no Bosch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(too large to hotlink)<span id='postcolor'> I'm not a too great fan of Breugel, I think that he lacks the bizzare sense of humor and details that Bosch has. The Tower of Babel is I think one of his better works. As for technical excellence I admire Albrecht Dürer Portrait of Dürer's father. Botticelli has also some good works.
