About Bosch - Couple on Duck Seduction Sin Statue - Garden of Earthly Delights
On the left of the central panel of the religious triptych painting Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch (ca 1450 - 1516), an unsuspecting man is seduced by a black woman. The sin takes place on a duck, the symbol of stupidity and alcoholism, and is observed by a large, colorful kingfisher. Bosch's religious painting today is beloved by fantasy and mystical believers who view Bosch as one of the forerunners to Surrealism.

More details on Bosch - Couple on Duck Seduction Sin Statue - Garden of Earthly Delights:
Perhaps the most brilliantly original and morally complex of all northern European religious painters, Hieronymus Bosch is most immediately associated with works with a disturbingly vivid, dream-like quality. Though only an estimated 25 original works exist, the nightmarish iconography in his paintings is instantly recognizable as "Boschian" and has become a staple of the genre of the grotesque. Bosch was one of the first artists to represent abstract concepts in his work, often through the narrational device of the triptych.
Bosch places visionary images in a hostile world full of mysticism, with the conviction that the human being, due to its own stupidity and sinfulness has become prey to the devil himself. He holds a mirror to the world with his cerebral irony and magical symbolism, sparing no one. He aims his mocking arrows equally well at the hypocrisy of the clergy as the extravagance of the nobility and the immorality of the people. Here you find some of the unique and surreal sculpture for Bosch in this collection of statuary.
