[edit] Information

-- Original title: "El Bosco. El jardin de los suenos" -- To commemorate the fifth century of the passing of Hieronymus Bosch, the Prado Museum commissioned this documentary about his undisputable masterpiece "The garden of Earthly Delights" from director Jose Luis Lopez-Linares. "Bosch: The Garden of Dreams" continues the conversation that began 500 years ago at the court of the Dukes of Nassau in Brussels when Bosch painted "The Garden of Earthly Delights".

The writers Salman Rushdie, Orhan Pamuk, Cees Nooteboom, Nelida Pinon and Laura Restrepo participate in the conversation; the artists Miquel Barcelo, Cai Guo-Qiang, Isabel Munoz and Jose Manuel Ballester; the musicians Renee Fleming, William Christie, Ludovico Einaudi, Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and Silvia Perez Cruz; the playwright Albert Boadella; the cartoonist MAX; historians John Elliott and Carmen Iglesias; neuroscientist Sophie Schwartz; and of course, the art historians Pilar Silva, Alejandro Vergara, Nils Buettner, Elisabeth Taburet-Delahaye, Xavier Salomon and Philippe de Montebello.

There are still many mysteries surrounding the triptych, but at the same time there are elements for everyone: bright colors, complex action, comedy, tragedy, mystery, sin, life, death, and maybe even redemption. The work can be appreciated and is capable of catching the viewer without being understood. The film invites the viewer to join this conversation.

"The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a hypnotic painting. Closed, on the outside, it represents a globe, the Earth, inside a transparent sphere. When opened, the triptych shows us a veritable garden of dream images. Paradise, with Adam and Eve, on the left; lust and the pleasures of the flesh, in the center, and hell, on the right.

Every day more than 4,000 people pass in front of the painting and in the space of time they spend looking at it, the art work interacts like a mirror with people. What does the viewer see when he looks at this painting? What did the painter want to tell us? Why did you create this work? Now enjoy every detail of the painting with 'the magnifying glass'. The documentary film 'Bosch: The Garden of Dreams' tries to provide answers to all the mysteries that this popular work by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch opens up.

"The film is a great conversation about the painting. The viewer participates by asking himself the same questions that others are asking; some have answers and others do not. The painting works like a mirror, it reflects what you are looking at," explains the director of the documentary.

Through exclusive access granted by the Prado Museum - such as witnessing the processes of X-raying and restoring the painting - "Bosch: The Garden of Dreams" looks to answer centuries-old questions about the painter and painting, as well as to explain the inspiration both have had on artists, writers, philosophers and musicians through the years. Directed by Jose Luis Lopez-Linares ; A Co-Production by Museo del Prado and Lopez-Li Films
