Week 12 Daphne- " The garden of early delights."

When i first reviewed this picture my eyes could not stop wondering around because there is so much going on at once! This portrait is known as a " triptych" because it has 3 folds. The more and more I gazed at the triptych, i could not figure out why it had to be so complex and "busy". It appears that the left panel depicts the story of adam and eve while the middle panel is focusing on the idea of nudity which seems to be the main idea/focus after adam and eve commit their first sin- the eating of the forbidden fruit. I also noticed that there is some interaction with humans and animals throughout the triptych. The right panel seems to show the consequences after eating the apple. I believe that the figures to the right symbolizing demonds, insinuating that man has fallen short of God's promise to eternal paradise. When first looking at the triptych i was overwhelmed and unsure of what i should have been focusing on, but after breaking it down section by section it was all clear and easier to understand the overall message or theme.
