An exhibition by Florencio Maíllo titled 'Del Jardín del Bosco' (From the Garden of the Delight) explores the artist's contemporary interpretations of Hieronymus Bosch's iconic triptych, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights'.

The exhibition 'Del Jardín del Bosco' by Florencio Maíllo offers a profound dialogue between the artist's contemporary creations and the timeless masterpiece, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights,' by Hieronymus Bosch. Maíllo's extensive body of work, produced between 2013 and 2015 through various artistic procedures including drawing, painting, serigraphy, and photography, delves into themes of the human condition, innocence, and excess. The exhibition is organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport and the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas. It integrates Maíllo's works, particularly those employing encaustic and metal assemblies, which revolve around the concept of pure man trapped in his particular world, shielded from a violent and consumerist reality. The exhibition also engages in a conversation with 37 pieces from the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas' collection, curated around five thematic axes: 'Caballo' (Horse), 'Desnudo' (Nude), 'Frutos' (Fruits), 'Plantas y Flores' (Plants and Flowers), and 'Fluidos' (Fluids), drawing parallels between Bosch's imagery and decorative arts. This project serves as a unique artistic interpretation, inspired by the central panel of Bosch's triptych. It showcases Maíllo's multi-faceted approach, where his paintings and assemblages reflect on themes of desire, memory, and the passage of time, juxtaposed with the museum's historical artifacts. The exhibition aims to create a compelling visual and conceptual experience, bridging historical art with contemporary artistic practice and offering new perspectives on Bosch's enduring legacy.
