Ears with Knife Larger by Hieronymus Bosch from Garden of Earthly Delights

THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS Hieronymus Bosch shows us how we mortal souls, arisen from earthly paradise, are on our way to the atrocious ordeals of hell via our unchaste lives on earth. The dark painting on the closed panels shows the Creation, surrounded by water, in accordance with mediaeval traditions.

Two enormous ears, held together by an arrow and a knife jammed in between. Is there an allegorical mediaeval symbolism behind this, or are the horrible tortures one might expect in hell pictured here once more? Is the monogram on the knife an M of the B of Bosch? Maybe we will never know what Bosch –had between his ears — when he was painting this picture.

Parastone, a renown European collectible figurine manufacturer, has masterfully brought to life this legendary iconic painting of the Ears with Knife Figure by late Medieval / early Renaissance artist Hieronymus Bosch, as an intricate 3D statue adaptation in the greatest detail.

Collectible quality, resin with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish. Dimensions: 3.5″H x 6″L x 7″W
