Holidays without research
in 2016 we wanted to enjoy our new way of life. Therefore, we made several trips in Spain. We went to Peniscola to see the castle of Papa Luna, We went to BIlbao for the famous Guggenheim museum, we went to Seu de Urgel what was interesting but the highlight of the year was the visit to the Prado in Madrid. 2016 was the year of Hieronymus Bosch, the Dutch painter. First there was an exhibition in the Netherlands. We did not go to that exhibition but to the one in the Prado. We have always been fans of this painter but in the Prado we were really overwhelmed by the impressions. When we were standing for the big painting "The Garden of the Earthy delights", we could not stop looking at all the details in the green background of the garden. We like to share this feeling with our viewers. Therefore, Willem has made a video of this painting, where you can see a few of the incredible details Bosch created and at the end you will see the center of the garden. Unfortunately the green in the video is not as nice as the green in the real painting but perhaps the beautiful music from "The Creation" of Haydn compensates for this. Surely Bosch created his own world.
We hope that you enjoyed this video as much as we did when we saw the painting in real.
