🖼 The triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights is considered by many scholars to be Bosch's program work. It is known that José de Sigüenza was the first to try to decipher this work in 1605.

He considered the Garden of Earthly Delights to be a "naturalistic painting": the central part of the triptych is a summary of the earthly life of mankind, who forget the original beauty of the lost paradise and are immersed in sinful pleasures, humans doomed to suffer in hell ". José de Sigüenza suggested that this painting should be printed into as many copies as possible and distributed to the faithful so that they would be guided to the right path.

🏙 Have you heard about Richard Rogers? Even if the answer is no, you must have heard about his work. Do The Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris) or the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg) sound familiar? These two along with the Headquarters for Lloyd's Bank (London), and the Millennium Dome (Greenwich), are some of the striking examples of his high-tech architectural vision.

When hearing the words “high-tech”, the first association can easily be the transparent glass building with sleek and simple design, so common in modernist movements. But in reality, it is the opposite of minimalism. Richard Rogers was one of the pioneers of this style – also known as structural expressionism – which rejected traditional aesthetics and established the display of the inner elements on the exterior.
