Devil On Night Chair Eating Human Statue by Hieronymus Bosch JB07 Parastone

Collectible quality, resin with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish.

We see the Devil eating a person on a chair where he will excrete the human remains. Hieronymus Bosch's style arises from the tradition of the book illuminations (manuscript illustrations from the Middle Ages). The caricatured representation of evil tones down its terrifying implications, but also serves as a defiant warning with a theological basis.

ABOUT HIERONYMUS BOSCH & THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS PAINTING
In the early late 1400's, a painter from the Netherlands, Hieronymus Bosch, created paintings for churches which illustrated heaven and hell. He reached into the depth of his imagination and created fantastical images to teach Christians about good and bad behavior. This statue recreates one of his painted characters.

In The Garden of Earthly Delights, Hieronymus Bosch illustrates the journey of human souls, starting in paradise and descending into the horrors of hell due to sinful lives on earth. The outer panels, when closed, depict the Creation surrounded by water, following medieval tradition. Bosch, a unique and groundbreaking artist born around 1450 in 's-Hertogenbosch in the Duchy of Brabant, painted with an intense, mystical style that set him apart from others of his time. His work reflects a world where human folly and sin lead souls into the grasp of the devil.
