Mike, this painting "The Concert in the Egg" reminded me for some reason of Dante's Purgatory where all his characters were depictions of people he knew, including politicians and the clergy. And yes, I can see Dick Chenney on the face of the guy in the foreground. He has a scowl on his face, LOL!Claudia Zurchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302024950570710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-17883746388162313422011-10-08T06:33:05.537-07:002011-10-08T06:33:05.537-07:00Less facts more speculation - always the case. My ...Less facts more speculation - always the case. My view is that Hieronymus Bosch was the unknown gunman on the grassy knoll.<br /><br />Ref voicing opinion without getting lynched - I was nodding my head at that then stopped. The medieval period was quite allegorical-sensitive. I don't think they were that dull as to not understand who and what he was getting at.Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-68766376858415478622011-10-07T10:30:48.537-07:002011-10-07T10:30:48.537-07:00I am a huge fan of Hieronymus Bosch.

What's interesting is that so little is known about his private life or why he painted what he painted, which leads to a lot of speculation and very little fact.<br /><br />My guess is he had some fiery opinions about society and he painted those scenes as a means of voicing that opinion without getting lynched.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
