I love art that makes me think

Wow that's a terrific painting! I love the subtle themes, symbolism and the intricate details. It makes me think.

Remarkable!

Wow, all the symbols are so clear now, thanks for the link to the whole story! That is very interesting and I appreciate it when an artist paints a picture with much more to it than meets the eye. I had only a vague interpretation of what it was about before.

yeah, my Euro history teacher was awesome. We actually got to learn about all the interesting stuff like... y'know... culture (so much art and music history, I was in heaven ^^). Then US history was Alexander Hamilton. An entire year of US history and all I can remember is Alexander Hamilton. I don't even know who he was...

Oh yes, that's something I love in Bosch's works, you have lot of things to find, and probably you will not find them all... he was a genious. Also you can get your own interpretations, because as I said, there's a lot of things to look at... take for example...

The Garden of Earthly Delights (this is probably his most famous, and not in vain!)

Then US history was Alexander Hamilton. An entire year of US history and all I can remember is Alexander Hamilton. I don't even know who he was...

ooh I'm sure you know who he is... he's Mr. 10$ bill :grin:

this is a very good site about jeroen bosch, his works and his influence on other artists like for example dalí. i used it quite a lot for school. my friend knows where his house is, and we wanted to visit it before seeing eve of destiny, but we didn't because i was sooo tired of walking around the whole day. he'll probably take me there some other day:)
