Public Lecture: "The Unspeakable Subject of Hieronymus Bosch"
From the time of its original display through the present day, the subject of Hieronymus Bosch's so-called "Garden of Delights" has eluded audiences. In a lecture devoted to what is arguably the most enigmatic work in the history of art, Joseph Koerner examines why Bosch's subject was made deliberately unspeakable.
