The linked article suggests that the models in the animation are supposed to represent 21st-century vices. That's all very well and good, but "The Garden of Earthly Delights" wasn't supposed to (and doesn't) represent 16th-century vices. Certain images from the "Hell" panel may be more historically situated, but the center panel is -- if it's about vices at all, which is not at all clear -- about more-or-less eternal human ones. Edit: one of my favorite pieces of art derivative of "Garden" -- a reading of the music painted on one of the figures' asses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnrICy3Bc2U |
