would you have guessed these are from the 1500s?? he made crazy, surrealist religious paintings for churches in the netherlands - ppl still aren't totally sure why he did what he did (leading theory is some kind of accidental hallucinogen)
i have a lot of posters on my walls, one of them is this painting. i learned about it in my a european history class i took in high school and have been obsessed since. i like to get lost in it. there are so many tiny details that are so fun to look at and wonder how he came up with it.
