"... this is presumably a caricature of the artist as the devil."

























Noticed, this morning, in the lower right corner of a painting, as I was looking into the authorship of the Book of Revelation. The image appears over the artists signature. Nice feet, tail, wings, armor, and whatever that is on the head.

I don't think it's Bosch as THE Devil. It's Bosch as A devil or demon.

Looks like Dr. Fauci.

Hands up, don't excommunicate!

I like the eyeglasses.

It actually is a lot more attractive than Dr. Fauci. I think it likely has more experience as an epidemiologist, too.

Hieronymus Bosch was a freak!

Did anyone else hear Joe Biden’s point 2 about Harris’s qualifications? In the 60 minutes interview he said, “She’s smart as a devil.” That seems all wrong to me.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...

I agree that "a devil" is better.

The artist is the proverbial time traveling fly on the wall, a la Jeff Goldblum. Nothing new under the sun.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Imp.

The details are in the devil.

The cackle of the Kamala is an amazing sound. Maybe it is a laugh at our being so easy to fool with Dem BS.

Maybe. Or it could be his father-in-law.

The Devil would be Screwtape senior. Looks more like the nephew Wormwood a JV demon.

But in his portraits Bosch has a square chin, a flat wide face, and a nose that goes straight down whereas this devil has a pointed chin, a narrow face and a nose like Pinocchio. Perhaps it is a portrait of an enemy artist or a personal enemy put up there on the altar as a minor devil for everyone to comment on.
