Document Summary
Implies a different notion of how we imagine the divine and humanity. Hieronymus bosch, adoration of the magi, oil on panel, ca. Central panel: virgin mary sits presumably her cloak was originally in lapis lazuli blue, fragile and tiny baby jesus, humble setting. King: one of the magi is characterized as a black african, kings came from three corners of the world shows the universality of the catholic church. Indecorous: extraordinary costume thorn-like plants growing from his raised collar. Shepherds on the roof: peering over, figures of fun. Centre mostly naked man: who is he, emphasis on the sin latent nature, some form of evil lurks behind. How does he differ from leonardo: leonardo has twisting poses and frenetic energy, still standing or kneeling features in bosch, colour difference, both oil, smaller figures, larger scale in leonardo. Triptych of the hay wain, open, oil on panel. Jesus: have to look for jesus, bleeding christ.
