Week 12: The Garden of Earthly Delights (Lindley Wren)

There is a lot of imagery going on in this depiction of lively figures--both animals and people. The picture is very animated as each person and animal in the image seems to be demonstrating some form of movement. The importance of nature is noted as a result of the vast greenery, bodies of water, mountains, and sky.. It is as if the image is embracing creation and the idea of life. Each character--both animal and human--is brightly noted due to (for the most part) it's bright ivory color and once again, the depiction of movement. The entire image suggests a closeness in community and the notion that every creation serves a role or holds a certain place in the greater society.
