Noble Friends,
Today BBC Culture is featuring an analysis of "The Garden of Earthly
Delights", a famous depiction of Hell by Hieronymus Bosch. You've all
seen this grotesque painting in books and online, and no doubt remember
its bizarre and images of torture and madness. This article highlights
and attempts to explain some of the weird images, beginning with the man
who has music tattooed across his butt (it is real music) and is being
crushed by a giant lute. Prepare to be fascinated:
