The drawing

The picture of human congress holds some appeals for the contemporary audience. In
fact, there is very little agreement as to the drawings and here is what I think about it all.
Bosch in his triptych of the creation, portrays human futility and damnation of the presence of
basically comic ephemerality of the human life.
The open order offers a perfect sphere shape that is half filled with the water that is
interpreted to be either the depiction of the flood or the third day of God’s creation of the
world. This has something to do with the springing of the flowers, trees, and plants. In the
image, there is a tiny figure of God holding an open book in his hands found in the uppermost
left corner of the panel, as well as the inscription that runs along the top of both panels, which
translates to read, “For he spoke and it came to pass, he commanded and it stood firm”. The
outside panel can be thought of as the end of the pictorial cycle, instead of its beginning. This
image can depict the flood, sent by God to cleanse the earth after the vice consumed it.
In the picture the path towards vice is mapped in the inner panels of the picture. The
outer panels are therefore intended to provoke the meditative purgation, a cleansing of the
mind.
The first panel of the drawing shows God introducing Eve to Adam. In this, one God
is portrayed as a mad scientist in the landscape occupied that is animated by the vaguely
alchemical vials and the beakers. The drawing presides over the introduction of Eve to Adam
and this is the sense of the drawing. The introduction of the woman to man in the setting is
clear and it intends to highlight not alone God’s creation but also human procreative capacity.
In the hierarchy of God’s creation, Adam and Eve are signified as his most audacious
achievement, even though after he’d created everything else, he thought of the need to leave a
signature on the world in which he could not have recognized him. This is in a conjunction to
the central panel and one is left to wonder whether Bosch is saying that the creation of man
on whom God conferred through free will might have been a divine mistake.
The central panel shows people being naked and the hell broke loose. On this panel,
the title Garden of Earthly delights was derived. This panel has the significance of the
drawing. In this panel Bosch’s humans, the offspring’s of Adam and Eve, frisk freely in the
surrealistic paradisiacal garden and they appear as a mad manifestation of the creator. In the
picture, the humans cannot be explained as to their activities and it appears as if God created
a vast of world’s different characters.
Bosch saves the best for the last. In the last panel, it portrays hell in its making. The
drawing shows the backdrop of the blackness, the prion like city walls which are etched in
the inky silhouette against the areas of flame and everywhere that human bodies huddle in the
groups, amass in the armies subject to the tortures at the hands of the ody clad and the animal
demons.
