The Garden of Earthly Delights [detail] Oil on oak panel triptych, 205.5 x 384.9 cm, by Hieronymus Bosch, 1490–1500 Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid |
||||||||||
| Not aiming for zoological accuracy, Bosch's left panel of his triptych features a giraffe stylised with his characteristic surreal distortions, with its dreamlike proportions and expression. To its left is a small, anxious-looking dog with exaggerated features, while above-right is a porcupine painted in vivid detail. |
