hieronymus bosch - tabletop of the seven sense
This painting was intended to be displayed lying flat. With its banderoles containing biblical inscriptions and the four circular scenes set into a dark background in the corners, the format recalls designs of stained glass windows. It has been pointed out that the four scenes in the corners show the Last Four Things:
Death
Last Judgement
Hell
Heaven
|
|
In the center is the Resurrected Christ and the Seven Deadly Sins are graphically shown around him in the shape of a mirror. The tabletop was presumably used by its owner as an object of contemplation and reflection upon human - and personal - sinfullness. The seven sins are:
Ira (Anger)--> a woman restrains her angry, drunken husband
Superbia (Pride)--> a woman admires herself in a mirror held by a devil disguised as a servant
Luxuria (Lust)--> a young man & woman flirt, as they eat & drink while a jester entertains
Accidia (Sloth)--> a man dozes in front of a fire while a nun reminds him of his religious duty
Gula (Gluttony)--> a fat man and his fat child eat while a thin man drinks
Avarcia (Avarice)--> shows a corrupt judge taking a bribe
Invida (Envy)--> a bourgeois looks longingly at a wealthy aristocrat, envying his lifestyle |

Zagros- have to confess I was unfamiliar with Farshchian's work, It's very good, seems to me he was heavily influenced by Art Nouveau movement 1880-1915.

Thos epaintings are remeniscent of Safavid era works, whcih were inspired by earlier Sassanid works which had some sort of connection to China.

Yes, thats the one and now I know why it's familiar. Had to study techniques and subject handling for Art History, way back when. Gericault was one of the artists I chose. Thanx for the reply, that would have bothered me all day

Zagros, if you can, see if you can find some links that show Safavid and sassanid work and [this evening as I have tasks assigned by "superintendent" ] I'll post some Art nouveau and also work by Maxfield Parish. If your interested that is, it should be interesting to do a comparison. Farshchian's use of color is more typical of safavid, but general mood is reminiscent of Art Nou. Which could have been inspired by Sassanid, Who knows?
