A bevvy of Butts in this triptych

A bevvy of Butts in this triptych These days you can find erotic images everywhere. Selling products and accompanying music in videos and of course movies. They are here on this site as well. We tend to think of it as a recent phenomenon, but (or should I say butt) it has been around for centuries. A recent trip to Europe was enlightening as many of the great renaissance painters were not just fulfilling their duty to create umpteen Madonna and paintings and many more of the saints and biblical scenes. One in particular caught my eye and obviously I am not the only one who found it amusing and also incongruous with the period. Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights was painted in the early 1500's. First off it left me wondering if he had eaten some wild mushrooms as it is certainly full of the weirdest creatures and sub-scenes that I have ever seen in early paintings. It is also a painting with a large number of bare<b> butts. </font></b>The one that left me smiling was hidden to most of the people gathered around it. A young lady on her hands and knees with her butt up high with flowers protruding from it. A young gentleman is about to place another into her raised butt. What did the 1500's priests and parishioners think of this painting? It seems to me that there was a lot of very interesting BDSM play going on at that time??? At least it appears the artist was alluding to this. I suppose what I am getting at is that we often believe what we see right now in our world and culture was created and evolved very recently. I personally think not. Google it as there are some good links on the interpretation of the painting. |
