The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch
One of the more interesting Prado Museum paintings to explore with Google Earth is Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. It's a painting that lends itself to exploration as there's so much going on in it. Hieronymus Bosch either had a quirky sense of humor or he had a few gremlins running around inside his head.
Here's a couple doing some flower arranging..
I'm not sure what's going on here, but they seem to be having fun..
That's no way to play a flute..
Ouch, that's an arrow in my bum.
So, it seems the Garden of Earthly Delights is really all about inserting things in our rear end. ¶ 10:53 PM

Anyone who thinks that some modern art is weird has never come across Hieronymus Bosch. He's the world's leading exponent of the fart flute. Bit of an anal fixation, what?
And this is a religious painting! A triptych!
Have you had a close look at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling recently?

Yeah, I think Bosch really did have a sense of humor Tina.
Ian, I havent looked at the Sistine Chapel for ages.. and never in real life. Is there some kind of internet project on it? I think I can remember something being done with it online.. or maybe not.. I don't know.
If I was any kind of real art lover I would probably go see the real thing! Would be a good excuse for a holiday actually ;-)

I really dont know how to make heads or tails out of this story.
You seem to have an internal theme going on here Dion, both going in, and going out.
I am so confused!
