The 600 year old butt song from hell... literally.
#341584 - 06/17/15 03:31 PM


The 600 year old painting by Hieronymus Bosch called The Garden of Earthly Delights has sheet music printed on one of the tortured soul's ass as seen in the panel depicting hell... and a blogger known as wellmanicuredman brought this music to life.

This is the song in a YT vid if anyone (like me) has trouble with the flash player in Gat's original post:


Bosch has always been intriguing and many times hid too many details. In The Garden (from which I have a 14.5 gigapixel version) one can really get lost in the picture, and he has some others also interesting. I always wondered if some of these details had a real meaning or they were just random things coming out of his imagination.



Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey / Oh, since I set my eyes on you. / I tell you the truth.
I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...

I would be interested in such a file =)

Yes to both. I would say those two things are mutually inclusive.

I got mine from Wikipedia. It's from Google Earth's virtual visit to El Prado's museum. Just go to the page to get the image in various sizes, but for the real deal, visit commons here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tile_set_of_The_Garden_of_Earthly_Delights

Check the attachment for an example of the resolution. In the left panel, at the bottom there's a pool, zoomed twice. There's a little plant (fern?) in the bottom-center side of the pool, zoomed to the max resolution and pasted.

The only problem is that 30000x30000 pixels JPEG files are quite hard to deal with. I actually broke down each of these huge tiles into smaller 7500x7500 tiles so I can open them relatively quickly and without eating half my ram. Specially in some editors (Photoshop, GIMP) which take about 10 bytes per pixel.

I would say those two things are exclusive. I suggest you to read Tolkien's prologue to LOTR
