These lovingly hand-painted resin figurines are based on the nightmarish characters that populate the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch (1450 – 1516) (Hieronymous Bosch on wikipedia)
They’re sort of like action figures for grown up kids who are just a bit artsy and just a bit twisted. Incidentally you can buy these figurines and MANY others at talariaenterprises.com
I’m really torn amongst several reactions: I’m confused, a bit disgusted, more than a bit intrigued and delighted and part of me just wants a whole SHELF of these weird little dust-catchers. How does it make you feel to see bits of “high culture” — especially pretty STRANGE and obscure culture — mass manufactured into easily consumable bits? How many of these things do YOU want? Which ones?
One reply on “Figurines based on Hieronymous Bosch”
I saw these once when I was really little, in some weird art book around the house. I never knew what they were & never saw them again except in an occasional dream. Both wonderful & horrible to finally know what they were….
