Dear, Dad

Dad you wouldn’t believe this piece of artwork from a book by a primatologist in our first year read in class the other day The Bonobo and the Atheist The Garden Of Earthly Delights by Heironymus Bosch. It may be one of the most overwhelming paintings to ever understand, and you know how I am when I don’t understand something at first how frustrated I get. At a first glance you would say how could I ever understand what one could even think such a painting could mean, from the first panel having god and Adam and Eve together, to the second panel having people run around a beautiful landscape with contrast of pink and blue colors and enjoy the pleasure of the world, on to the third with what you would see as hell and havoc.

“As I stepped out into the ghetto that the garden of Eden has become and there in an empty lot, I saw the tree of life, abandoned & squatted covered in a cast concrete structures heard the four to the floor of a house beat could feel the bass right through my feet” (Barsky 18) Since Barsky is still illustrating the afterlife, he makes an impressive statement by describing the garden of Eden as abandoned and disregarded.

The common imagery that the reader is familiar with in this example, is the religious connotation of the Tree of Life and the Garden of Eden.

With the advent of oil paintings during the Northern and Florentine Renaissance and an adherence to religious beliefs, Jan van Eyck began to include religious subjects in his work.
