Painter Bosch could select between real bridges in his hometown Den Bosch as models for his works.

AUTHOR FISCHER EXPLAINS how Hieronymus Bosch’s St.Anthony is based on the Vitas Patrum. It mentions Satan’s effort to tempt the saint with a silver dish and then with a quantity of gold (Ch.11+12): the woman with the serpentine tail offers a silver dish to a nun; gold takes the form of a goblet.

Bosch spent a lot of thinking on the lute player’s footwear… and seems to have decided to skip shoes altogether! (From the Haywain, >=1510AD. At the Prado.)

An old Netherlandish expression was: “Hij/zij komt uit de holle boom kijken” [He/she is peeking out of the hollow tree]. It was said in provinces N-Holland and Gelre about a newly born baby. Source: Harrebomée 2, p. lxviii. (From the Anthony triptych -Hieronymus Bosch ~1500AD at MNAA museum Lisbon)

BOSCH IS KNOWN FOR MIXING IDEAS, the Garden’s enigmatic mid panel is just that. Prof.Vandenbroeck’s suggestion of it being based on the medieval Grail idea, alluding of an earthly & heavenly paradise, makes sense: the Towers scene reflects Genesis’ paradise with 4 rivers/regions.

The triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, of ca.1500AD is at the Prado museum in Madrid.

A STARLING POT FOR MEN is what Hieronymus Bosch painted on several of his works ~1500AD. The real pots were used to seduce Starlings to nestle. Young birds ready to take flight were then taken out from a side hole. They ended in a pie or in soup. Inset: a real pot from the castle Slot Loevestein.

Why does a Duck feed person? *It shows the infantile state of people in the Love Garden, being dependent on others to being fed. *Maybe it’s also a link hinting at the <END> (a Dutch word that also meant Duck). The gluttonous life here is a far thought of being seriously directed to the Hereafter…

On the same panel, a bird also feeds people.

In my opinion, the soldiers that arrested Christ in the night in Gethsemane, are burned in a giant version of the very lantern they must have carried. An example of punishment (cleansing in Purgatory) roughly according to the principle: “An eye for an eye”…..

It would be a way for Bosch to make a pre-announcement of the (meaning of the) rest of the triptych!

020

Caseiokey @caseiokey.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

The Unicorn is a.o. a symbol of Christ. It may be the deeper layer of the depiction here, on the first inside panel. Obvious meaning is the portrayal of all sorts of creation, even including creepy crawly (diabolic) animals…
