Democratic Obscurantism in Three Stages

In this work directly inspired by Bosch, Nathalie De Zan intertwines Christian iconography and secular symbols with her own perspective. She observes the dark aspects of an ever-changing world from which she extracts her Garden of Earthly Delights. In his XVI century masterpiece, Jerome Bosh represents an era caught in between a crepuscular gothic Middle-Ages and the Renaissance. The influence of illumination can be found in the work of both Nathalie De zan and Bosch. Illumination was an integral part of Middle Ages aesthetics and disappeared with the rise of the printing press.
