Thank you for sharing the interactive version of The Garden of Earthly Delights! Just happen to be working on a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of this triptych right now, and there is literally no such thing as too much detail.

Oh man this would make the best puzzle ever. Brilliant.

i had this amazing art history professor in college - if he was teaching the class, i wanted to take it. i ended up accidentally just shy of an art history minor, even. he had a thick indian accent and got super hyped about two things: seinfeld (especially the episode "little kicks" with elaine dancing) and that garden of earthly delights painting. that thing amazed, baffled, and cracked us all up. WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT IT? THERE'S A MAN, POOPING COINS! i distinctly remember him exclaiming, practically jumping up and down. fond memories.

what's strange is that i just realized that scene is right behind the one you drew about in this comic. (i'm keeping that link where you can explore the painting in great detail. what an amazing resource.)

THANK YOU for that link!!

I have loved the Garden of Earthly Delights since an art class in college

I was in the Museo Del Prado in 2019 and spent entirely too much time in front of it.

WILD i just did the garden of earthly delights as a jigsaw puzzle (in an app) without any detail of the artist or the name, just picked it cause it had so many details (would've preferred to have done it not on a small screen but alas) and now to see it here and actually find out more about it!

"I’ll just be like, 'Nope,' with a period or an exclamation point. It’s a complete sentence" I'm sorry, my brain cannot process this. Like it literally makes me anxious just thinking about it.
