Week.12- Joon.s. Lee: The garden of earthy delights.
Through the garden of earthly delight, I could find various kind of features that consists of painter's multiplicity of imagination. First of all, I couldn't believe a kind of splendid color variations that have ever seen any artworks before in that period. Because I learned oil painting before, I know well that it is really hard to control and mix up with many colors, and creating a unrealistic existence from imagination using with oil painting need to not only brilliant ideas but also very detail, even special ability to express oneself. In this painting, three parts of panel shows different kind of story using fantastic coloring and unbelievable imagination. First panel is pretty easy to approach to get a main story "adam and eve",god and apple tree around them. Through atmospheric perspective, it shows a distance between main field and background pretty well. At the middle of first panel, pink-toned big spiral somethings on the water seems to a symbol of peace and also looks like a fountain but the painter put a unrealistic, even lifelike thing on it because I feel like a kind of face something is smiling with triangular shaped mouth at the top of round(bottom) and the bottom of spiral. Anyway, I think painter mignt be want to describe the very beginning of earth so there are only few single one of each animals. For the second panel, I think that is a kind of prolongation of first panel with many themes like hunting, harmony, celebration and human prosperity. However, this panel looks too much busy because of over features with humans and animals. Personally, I guess that painter seemed to depict his ideal like "we are the one" regardless of race or subject (human or animal) and put it together in one panel. By contrast with early two panels, the last panel is totally different than others. The panel just expose very directly about negative life or the end of moral gangrene. Very dark background that consist of irregular explosions from buildings at the top of panel and confusion in direction of crowd seems to give hint to people the end of life from middle panel in a sense. Moreover, some of knives painting feel even frightened. In a word, these three panels are compressed level of human life depend on control and these are an advanced warning to people who are living in todays.
