哀悼｜神话与凡人

博斯(约1450-1516年)是历史上最具挑衅性的艺术家之一，也是新纪录片《希罗宁姆斯·博施的奇妙世界》的主题。

One of history’s most provocative artists, Bosch (c. 1450-1516) is the subject of a new documentary titled The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch.

耶罗尼米斯·博斯(Hieronymus Bosch)出生于荷兰城市s-Hergotenbosch的琼·范·肯(Joen van Aken)，他留下了一批历史上最令人毛骨悚然的素描和绘画作品。博斯最著名的作品是噩梦般的地狱场景，残破的肢体散落其中，超现实的生物出没其中，他的作品奇异迷人。

Born Joen van Aken in the Netherlandish city of ‘s-Hergotenbosch, Hieronymus Bosch bequeathed a collection of history’s most fantastically macabre drawings and paintings. Best known for his nightmarish depictions of hellscapes strewn with torn limbs and haunted by surreal creatures, Bosch’s body of work is enchantingly bizarre.

也许，耶罗尼米斯·博斯令人惊讶的“正常”生活的本质，进一步促成了他为我们描绘的痛苦世界的纯粹神秘。正如比克斯塔夫先生恰如其分地指出的那样，博斯的作品渗透了观众的潜意识，利用了我们对无法解释和不寻常事物的共同恐惧。

Perhaps the nature of Bosch’s surprisingly ‘normal’ life further contributes to the sheer mystery of the tormented worlds he painted for us. As Mr. Bickerstaff aptly points out, Bosch’s work permeates the viewer’s subconscious and plays on our shared fears of the inexplicable and the extraordinary.
