“How can the artist use oil paint to register change—evanescent phenomena like glowing light, vaporizing water, shotting flames, and processes of transmutation whereby a motif that appears on one panel reappears in altered form on the next?” In the Garden of Earthly Delights, we see the past in the future, the future in the past. Extensively researched and beautifully illustrated, this groundbreaking analysis of the Garden draws on new findings about Bosch’s idiosyncratic painting technique, his curiosity about natural history, his connections to the Burgundian court, and his experience of contemporary politics. Through these lenses, Carroll explores the artist’s speculation on temporal change and investigates his curious, echoing motifs.
