  The Garden of Earthly Delights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Garden of Earthly Delights is a triptych by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch.
A detail from Bosch's Garden of Eden panel is used on the cover of the paperback edition of Margaret Atwood's novel, Oryx and Crake, a novel depicting a post-apocalyptic world populated with flora and fauna similar in description to those in Bosch's triptych.
Ian Watson's science fiction novel The Gardens of Delight features a planet closely based on the three panels of Bosch's triptych, which is gradually revealed to be an allegory of spiritual alchemy.

 A garden of earthly delights - The Boston Globe
Just inside the garden's main entrance is the outdoor Spanish Kitchen, where meals such as steak, rosin potatoes, and swamp cabbage for 100 have been cooked for such groups as the Los Angeles Dodgers (during spring training) and the Vero Beach High School football team.
The Jungle Garden closed in 1976, a victim of competing attractions and new highways (the expanded Interstate 95 drew traffic from US Highway 1, which had been the main north-south route).
When the garden reopened in 2001, thanks to the efforts of the Indian River Land Trust and the nonprofit McKee Botanical Garden organization, 62 of its acres had been sold for an adjoining condominium and golf course development.

 The Garden of Earthly Delights
Englebright was standing in his garden in the very spot where an rather large and rather orange pumpkin once lay, befuddled, flummoxed and, after doing a sort of math theorem in his head having to do with pumpkins and Mrs.
He simmered and stewed and stroked his scraggly gray beard for an inordinate amount of time, just standing right there in the garden, the sun slowly sinking, and it was not until the darkest of sunset shadows was cast over the shallow imprint of where his missing pumpkin once was that Mr.
Englebright’s garden, where a row of small scarecrows and one larger one hung on makeshift crosses, each with a pumpkin head, each head with a face carved into a frozen grimace of horror and pain.

 Garden of Earthly Delights Part 1
She advanced on a large, free-form flowerbed that began just at the edge of the brick patio and extended to the corner of the house, then meandered towards a small pond and wooded area.
Thus occupied with the annihilation of her enemies, the gardener spent a happy hour moving through the plantings that dotted the large back yard, spraying, pruning, and plotting.
Pausing only to grab and turn on a neatly wound garden hose hanging from the porch wall, she reversed her sprint and began spraying water as soon as she was near enough, causing steam to envelope the wreck.

Earthly Delights is both the name of a wonderful band and the banner under which a cluster of related passions are exercised.
As a band Earthly Delights might be anything from a wandering trio to a full-on five-piece, and might be caught doing anything from garden weddings to grand concerts, playing anything from pavans to tangos and leading anything from a simple 17th century country dance to a snazzy 19th century couples dance.
Besides creation and performance, however, Earthly Delights is also about sharing - and hence our intention to develop this web-site into as much of a public resource as possible.

 (Unofficially) Peter S. Beagle: Books: The Garden of Earthly Delights
Garden seems to be Beagle's attempt at art criticism.
His paintings, e.g., Adoration of the Magi (Metropolitan Mus.), are filled with bizarre plants, animals, and figures suggested perhaps by folk legends or moralizing religious literature.
He was a favorite of Philip II of Spain, who collected such works as Garden of Earthly Delights (Prado) and the Temptation of St. Anthony (Lisbon).

 The Garden of Earthly Delights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The most famous of Bosch's pieces, The Garden of Earthly Delights is generally placed late in his career, well after 1500, and exhibits many of the same themes found in his earlier works, most notably that humankind is given over to sin.
While the triptych format is traditional for Netherlandish alterpieces the subjects and presentation of this piece makes it likely that it was never intended to be placed in a church but was instead prepared for lay patrons.
Indeed there is good evidence that The Garden of Earthly Delights was owned by Hendrick III of Nassau.

 A garden of earthly delights
Rose says that every plant in her garden is useful, and used: roses from "old" 'Eglantine' to 'Cecile Brunner' for scent, comfrey and artemisia for balms, and various plants for teas, including a lemon verbena the size and woodiness of a small tree.
She interacts with her garden the way I do, stroking and greeting by name, pinching and shaking hands with one plant after another.
Such gorgeous treats as Rose grows, teaches and markets -- the "flight of lavenders" on her essential oils page -- like her idiosyncratic, delightful garden plot, do expand consciousness in a way, as their pleasures open us to the connection with the green world that's as essential to us as vitamins.

 Putting the Garden Into the Machine: On Brakhage's The Garden of Earthly Delights
In The Garden of Earthly Delights, Brakhage took pieces of plants he encountered in his everyday life, arranged the assortments of leaves, seeds, stamens, roots and flowers into patterns between two pieces of 35mm film, and optically printed the results.
His painted panels are of exquisite beauty; their jewel-like colours and translucency depict the world as a dreamlike garden whose innocence, sanctity and ethereality is slowly distorted into dark, nightmarish visions full of surrealist horrors as Man becomes increasingly drawn into a life of sensual pleasures.
Rather, it is a handmade object, made with love and pride, about the follies of man. As such, it is a little piece of this world's earthly delights to treasure forever...or at least until the print's physical demise.

His obsessive and nightmarish vision has its antecedents in the Gothic twilight world of the late Middle Ages and, although the allegorical medieval world view is now lost, there have been many recent attempts to 'read' his pictures, not least by those who have attempted to interpret Bosch by dream analysis.
The Garden of Earthly Delights demonstrates Bosch's dazzling ability to build up a hugely detailed landscape through a series of bizarre exaggerations and distortions.
Inside, The Garden of Earthly Delights is flanked on the left by the Garden of Eden and on the right by Hell.

 BOSCH
The first section of the triptych piece known as the Garden of Earthly Delights, seems to depict the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, before the eating from the tree of knowledge, since neither Adam nor Eve are hiding from what seems to represent God.
Curiousity: at the centre right of this section, is a mound of dirt that when looked at closely seems to be a face of a moustached man, what's curious is that this type of image was accredited to a great painter centuries later, Dali.

"The Garden of Earthly Delights" is an early 16th-century triptych depicting distorted and sometimes disturbing visions of Eden, a garden of pleasure, and Hell.
The seemingly acid-laden imagery would rival the works of Salvador Dali, except it predates his work by four centuries.
While more attention should have been paid to the title painting, Zeri does an adequate job of pleasing the palate with an appetizing sampler of this feast of symbols.
