Abstract

Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, as the most impressive artists of the Renaissance period, have processed the creation of the universe and humanity with their unique approaches. While Bosch created works full of eerie and fantastic elements during the 15th-century Dutch Renaissance, Bruegel reinterpreted these fantastic themes from a community-focused and more realistic perspective. Bosch’s works present a radical critique through morality, religiosity, and social deviations; Bruegel relates these critiques to social corruption and moral decline, shedding light on the social realities of the era. Both artists challenge the strict moral judgments of the period and describe the complex nature of human, animal and plant forms with surreal images. This study provides a comparative analysis of the Renaissance art of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. This analysis, based primarily on “The Garden of Earthly Delights” among other significant works, reveals that artists offer various perspectives from aesthetic and sociological viewpoints. This analysis aims to uncover Bosch and Bruegel’s trans-era artistic legacies and their comprehensive commentaries on social structures.

Abstract

Hieronymus Bosch ve Pieter Bruegel, Rönesans döneminin en etkileyici sanatçıları olarak, evrenin ve insanlığın yaratılışını kendi benzersiz yaklaşımlarıyla işlemişlerdir. Bosch, 15. yüzyıl Hollanda Rönesansı'nda ürkütücü ve fantastik unsurlarla dolu eserler yaratırken, Bruegel ise Bosch'un bu fantastik temalarını toplum odaklı ve daha gerçekçi bir perspektifle yorumlamıştır. Bosch'un eserleri, ahlak, dindarlık ve toplumsal sapmalar üzerinden radikal bir eleştiri sunarken; Bruegel, bu eleştirileri toplumsal yozlaşma ve ahlaki düşüşle ilişkilendirerek dönemin toplumsal gerçeklerine ışık tutar. Her iki sanatçı da, dönemin katı ahlaki yargılarına meydan okur ve insan, hayvan ve bitki formlarının karmaşık doğasını gerçeküstü imgelerle tasvir eder. Bu çalışma, Hieronymus Bosch ve Pieter Bruegel'in Rönesans dönemi sanatını karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz eder. 'Dünyevi Zevkler Bahçesi' başta olmak üzere, önemli eserler üzerinden yapılan bu inceleme, sanatçıların estetik ve sosyolojik açılardan derinlemesine bir perspektif sunduğunu ortaya koyar. Bu analiz, Bosch ve Bruegel'in dönemlerini aşan sanatsal miraslarını ve toplumsal yapılar üzerine yaptıkları kapsamlı yorumları açığa çıkarır.
