The Seven Deadly Sins Of Hieronymus Bosch, Sally A. Struthers

Art and Art History Faculty Publications

Some have tried to explain the iconography of Bosch’s works through alchemy, astrology, medicine and the Adamites. Bosch’s work is rich, and seems to come from a number of sources, but he always drew from traditional Christian themes. The sinfulness of mankind is a major theme in Bosch’s oeuvre, and is bound up with the late Medieval theme of the punishments of the damned at the Last Judgment. The theme of the seven deadly sins pervades every surviving painting by Hieronymus Bosch.

Art and Art History Faculty Publications

The work of Fairfield Porter defies classification partially due to its directness and seeming simplicity, which ma ks an undercurrent of complexity and mystery-even ambiguity.

Even among the artist of the past that Porter admired-Velazquez, Rubens, and Vuillard, to name a few-variation is prominent. Much ha been said about Porter's initial stance a a maturing artist in the I 940s and '50s as being au …
