- Title
Temps de la faute, temps de l'angoisse dans l'imaginaire du mal de Jérôme Bosch.
- Authors
ARTIGALA, EMMA
- Abstract
Hieronymus Bosch's imaginary geography imbues a striking syncretism, combining the myths of immersion, parturition, gestation for the first time, and the biblical myth, through the confrontation of the monster and of the "man of the fault and the guilt" stemming from the original sin in Christianity. Of this monstrous union of both mythical poles emerges an ambiguity which is situated at the interface between an infernal anti-utopia and an impracticable utopia. Indeed, Bosch, "man of the fault" himself, is divided between searching for meaning, which he finds by dividing arbitrarily the time in past, present and future, and dreaming about a nonsense which makes him create worlds of utopia, where the timelessness corresponds exactly to the definition of the Time of the contemporary physicists, but where the monster seems to belong to another order of reality than that of the "man of the fault".
