What is Hieronymus Bosch : Garden of earthly delights about?

Hans Belting Avoids Interpreting Hieronymus Bosch's Triptych, The Garden Of Earthly Delights, As A Heretical Masterpiece, A Personal Examination Of The Church's Dogmas, Or As An Opulent Illustration Of The Creation. Instead, He Sees The Panels As A Painted Utopia, Reflecting The Zeitgeist Of The Period. He Links The Work To The Humanist Theories Of Thomas More And Willibald Pirckheimer And Examines The Question That Bosch Posed: What Would The World Have Been Like Without The Fall? In Addition, The Author Determines The Secular Patron And Analyses The Intended Purpose Of The Painting.--jacket.
