I was delighted to find this entry from February 8, 2016 Take a Virtual Tour of Hieronymus Bosch’s Bewildering Masterpiece The Garden of Earthly Delights because it complements perfectly the category of Hieronymus Bosch of this blog and adds additional insights into the extensive research already presented here. 
Art historians have argued about the meaning of The Garden of Earthly Delights--Hieronymus Bosch’s enormously sized, lavishly detailed, and compellingly grotesque late 14th- or early 15th-century triptych—more or less since the painter’s death. What does it really say about the appearance and fall of man on Earth that it seems to depict? How seriously or ironically does it say it? Does it offer us a warning against temptation, or a celebration of temptation? Does it take a religious or anti-religious stance? And what’s with all those creepy animals and bizarre pseudo-sex acts? “In spite of all the ingenious, erudite and in part extremely useful research devoted to the task,” said scholar Erwin Panofsky, “I cannot help feeling that the real secret of his magnificent nightmares and daydreams has still to be disclosed.”

 Mermaid Corinna on Facebook My friend Coco aka Corinna Herden, who is also a associate member of our Freimaler Group has just now released a new song "Brand New Day" Electronic Byronic featuring Mermaid Corinna
Song lyrics inspired by the story "The Little Mermaid": -I can still recall the days of you and me Salty skin, hot breath, embraced swimming in the sea. -When you swam to me, I did not know your name, Songs you sang to me, seduced me all the same. Promise of pleasure in a kingdom by the sea, Whispers of legends that used to be. -It’s a brand new day, the future is you and me, Everlasting love, and immortality. It’s a brand new day, my love will set you free, Earthly bonds that bind, just follow the call of the sea. -When I sang to you the yearnings of my heart, Songs of pain for you, we should not be apart. Sands of time wash by the memories of pain, Hope that springs anew brings life to me again. -It’s a brand new day, the future is you and me, Everlasting love, and immortality. It’s a brand new day, my love will set you free, Earthly bonds that bind, just follow the call of the sea. -I can still recall the days of you and me Electronic Byronic Mermaid Corinna & Corinna Herden Cover art by Paul Allan Ballard (This song is © Electronic Byronic)
