This new series examines several highly regarded masterpieces in an
attempt to unravel the mysteries that surround them. Through an
innovative concept and a fresh approach, 'Art Mysteries', edited by
Marco Carminati and Stefano Zuffi, presents an up-to-date and
spectacular reading of famous paintings, investigating key clues
that suggest previously unknown background information. What we
know about the life of Hieronymus Bosch gives us no inkling
whatsoever of the explosion of fantasy, the weird and wonderful
world, and the bizarre devilry in his oeuvre. The destination and
function of his most important works are still a complete mystery.
What was the purpose of the triptychs populated by seething masses
of figures? Who could have immersed themselves in that world of
symbols, references and allusions? The master's undisputed
masterpiece, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', is still linked to
Gothic imagery but, at the same time, already embraces the
extraordinary innovations of the sixteenth century, including the
geographical discoveries in the Americas, from the Caribbean
archipelago to Brazil, and in southern Africa.
