the garden of earthly delights/dr. martens

The Garden of Earthly Delights is a triptych by Dutch painter, Hieronymus Bosch. It has long been regarded as one of his most ambitious and career-defining works. The left panel depicts God presenting Eve to Adam, the central panel is a broad panorama of nude figures engaging each other in a number of ways, fantastical animals, oversized fruit and hybrid stone formations. The right panel is a hellscape and portrays the torments of hell and damnation. it's trippy to say the least and well worth some thinking about and pouring over. but now, the painting can be worn--Dr. Martens, makers of the long-hip shoe of the same name, has introduced a special edition of their boots and shoes featuring sections of the painting. I might have to own a pair of these.

That's great. One of my all time favorite paintings. Even I might buy a pair.
