Description

Helm-wearing Bird Monster - Jeroen Bosch Collection Figurine -  Parastone - 9 cm

The helmet-wearing bird monster carries a pen holder and inkwell in its beak, into which the nun, who has been transformed into a pig, dips her pen. A severed foot dangles from his horned helmet, a reference to the gruesome corporal punishment that awaits in hell. The pig, in itself an indictment of the degeneration of monastic life, seduces the man sitting next to him and appears to be drawing up a contract. Is the man selling his soul?

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Hieronymus Bosch shows how we mortals, sprung from the earthly paradise, are on our way to the gruesome hell through our unchaste life on earth.

Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), born Hieronymus van Aken in ’s-Hertogenbosch, was a South Dutch painter of the Northern Renaissance. Nicknamed den duvelmakere (“the creator of devils”), he became known for his satirical and fantastical scenes. Bosch was an innovator who transformed traditional motifs into imaginative new compositions, many of which still puzzle viewers with their mysterious meanings. Celebrated in his own time and even commissioned by the ducal court in Brussels, his life nevertheless remains only partly known.

Attributes: figure that has the body of a squat, birdlike animal with clawed feet, wearing an armored helmet shaped like a medieval knight’s visor. From the helmet protrudes a long beak, and inside a human-like eye peer out. An arrow pierces its thigh and attaches to its back dangles a disembodied foot on a string. On its tail, there’s a sword stuck through, with a red cord hanging. Another string dangles from the beak, suspending a small black object that looks like a kettle or mask.
