About this work

Artist: Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516)
Year: c. 1490–1510
Medium: Oil on oak panels (triptych)
Original size: 205.5 × 384.9 cm (open)
Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid
Movement: Northern Renaissance

Three panels read from left to right: God presenting Eve to Adam in a green Eden with strange fountains and animals; a vast garden where hundreds of small nude figures feast on giant fruit, ride birds and animals and climb into transparent spheres; and a dark hell of burning cities, musical instruments turned into torture devices and a hollow tree-man with a face. Bosch painted the triptych in 's-Hertogenbosch sometime between about 1490 and 1510. Its first recorded owner was Henry III of Nassau in Brussels, and it passed to Philip II of Spain, which is why it is in the Prado. The outer shutters show the earth on the third day of creation in grey. Its meaning is still argued over; most read it as a warning against the pleasures of the flesh.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A wide triptych of hundreds of tiny figures, so it needs width and a viewer who stands close: a hallway, study or long console at 24×36. Black frame, dark or neutral wall; it is not a bedroom picture and does not pair with much.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is The Garden of Earthly Delights in the public domain?

Yes. Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Museo del Prado.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Garden of Earthly Delights painted, and in what medium?

The Garden of Earthly Delights dates from c. 1490–1510 and was made in oil on oak panels (triptych); the original measures 205.5 × 384.9 cm (open).

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For The Garden of Earthly Delights we'd choose 24×36.
