User art gallery- original paintings

[sleepless]

ive got books on both bosch and brughel, both of whom did paintings of visions of hell, my favourite is triumph of the dead by brughel, it was the cover of an old black sabbath complilation that i had. it relly puzzles me as to how they got away with doing the paintings that they did, at the time [early rennaissance] if you spoke out against the church they burned you at the stake.

I googled 'medieval art purgatory triptych' and found an interesting site with a writeup on how bosh got away with it... apparently he was a really pious dude and had some powerful patrons.

the book i have about bosch goes into great depth about 'the temptation of st anthony' another of his tryptichs and also provides a lot of insight into his other paintings. it is suggested in the book that bosch was part of a semi-cultlike group [like the masons] and points out a large number of anti-christian symbolism and occult imagery within these paintings that we miss due to our ignorance of medieval beliefs. as great as bosch is i still prefer brughel, not only were his hellish visions equal to bosch he also painted some wonderfull pictures of the changing seasons and pictures of leppers and blind men which have a humanity to them which bosch lacks. one further note on the temptation of st anthony, it was origially hanged in the walls of a medieval sanitarium. i didnt even know they had them then, and i doubt putting up vivid pictures of the hellish torments you are going to suffer in the afterlife would have done the patients any good at all.
