Helmeted Bird Monster by Hieronymus Bosch from Garden of Earthly Delights

Helmeted Bird by Hieronymus Bosch is part of the highly collectible figurine set by Parastone of The Netherlands. This intricately painted statue will amuse your friends for many years. Statue measures 3.25in x 4.75in x 2.5in, made from resin. This helmeted bird monster is carrying a pencil box and an ink pot in its beak, in which the nun, decaying into a pig, is dipping her pen. A severed foot is swinging from the bird's helmet referring to the horrible corporal punishments which could be expected in hell. The pig, indeed an indictment against the decay of clergy life, is tempting the man who is sitting beside him and it appears that he is drawing up a contract. Is the man possibly selling his soul? ABOUT THE ARTWORK: THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS Hieronymus Bosch shows us how we mortal souls, arisen from earthly paradise, are on our way to the atrocious ordeals of hell via our unchaste lives on earth. The dark painting on the closed panels shows the Creation, surrounded by water, in accordance with medieval traditions. These fantastic and biblical sculptures from Renaissance master Hieronymus Bosch are amazing statue adaptations from historic paintings. They have a hellish and demonic surrealism to them that feels apocalyptic. We here at Museumize pride ourselves on offering these Fine Historical Art Figures Collectibles by Parastone Mouseion 3D of The Netherlands. We also carry a larger version of this statue with Helmeted Bird, The Sinner and Nun Pig, Item #JB22.
