Using the still, small and sombre image of "Christ Mocked" by Bosch
as a basis, this book works around the painting in five 'circles'
to explore the political, scientific, psychological and devotional
world of early modern Europe and its implications for us
today.Unlike Bosch's better-known, fantastical, 'proto-surrealist'
paintings, "Christ Mocked" is small, still and sombre, and yet,
with a little effort of knowledge and interpretation, it reveals a
depth of understanding of both the Passion, and of human nature,
that speaks as much to the twenty-first century as it did to the
sixteenth.By exploring the political, scientific, psychological and
devotional world of early modern Europe, and applying those
insights to our own time, the author shows how Bosch used his
sophisticated artistic skills to convey a similarly sophisticated
understanding of humanity. In "Christ Mocked" - a painting '500
years old but passionately modern' - "Christ's Passion" is so
portrayed as to make us reassess the cosmic significance of
Christ's death, and its profound implications for what we think it
means to be human.
