Gothic Art - Flemish Painting.

Fegefeuer Anilmathiel Saint Eligius of Noyon Memorial 1 December Son of Eucherius and Terrigia. Extremely skillful metalsmith. Apprenticed to the master of the mint at Limoges, France. Treasurer at Marseilles, France. Master of the mint under King Clotaire II in Paris, France; a close friend of and advisor to Clotaire. Noted for his piety, hard work and honesty, Eligius was generous to the poor, ransomed slaves (including Saint Tillo of Solignac), built churches, a monastery at Solignac, France, and a major convent in Paris. It was said that you could easily find his house by the number of poor people there that he was caring for. Counselor to and diplomat for King Dagobert I. Friend of Saint Ouen of Rouen with whom he formed a small religious society. Persuaded Breton King Judicael to accept the authority of Dagobert.
Ordained in 640. Bishop of Noyon, France and Tournai, Belgium in 641. Built the basilica of Saint Paul. Preacher in Antwerp, Ghent, and Courtai in Belgium, with many converts, generally brought to the faith by his example of charity and work with the poor and sick. Friend and spiritual teacher of Saint Godeberta. Encouraged devotion to the saints and reverence for their relics; he discovered the relics of Saint Quentin, Saint Piaton, and Saint Lucian of Beauvais, and made many reliquaries himself. Miracle worker with the gifts of clairvoyance and prophecy; he foresaw the date of his own death.
He has become the traditional patron of all smiths, metal workers, and craftsmen. His patronage of horses and the people who work with them stems first from his patronage of smiths and craftmen, but also from his having left a horse to a priest at his death. The new bishop liked the horse, and took it from the priest. The horse became sick, but recovered immediately when it was returned to the priest that Eligius had chosen. There is also a legend of Eligius removing a horse‘s leg in order to easy shoe it, then putting the leg back in place. In some places horses are blessed on his feast day. Through the years, horse-drawn cabs were replaced by motorized ones, and stables were supplanted by garages and gas stations, but the patronage of the people who do those jobs and work in those places has remained.

Geertgen tot Sint Jans: he does his great Nativity, very dark, and John the Baptist in the desert.
Hieronymus van Aeken Bosch: he creates original compositions, strange and fantastic ones, always with moralizing intention. His masterpiece is the Garden of Earthly Delights. Others are Tentations of Saint Anthony Abad and Christ with the cross.
Garden of Earthly Delights: great symbolic content with many interpretations. Left panel is the Earthly Paradise, where you see Adam and Eve with God. All seems pacific but you can see animals being devorated. The ponds and rocks are lairs for the devil. The central panel is the Delights Garden, a false paradise where humanity is, with sins, specially lust, so you can see all kind of sexual relations, heterosexual, homosexual, masturbation and even between animals and plants. The ponds are dirty, they are the waters where the sins take bath. The right panel is Hell. There appear musical instruments, and is not known why. In the upper part is the typical version of Hell, with fire and tortures. In center appear fantastic creatures, and below appear players being tortured by demons.
