The Meat Stall Painting By Peter Aertsen: The Meat Stall

The meat stall painting by peter aertsen: He was the 1st person to create compositional inversion paintings’’. In the painting of the Meat Stall emphasis on what you can see and should see with the naked eyes. The painting encourage the markets of good and service. The Meat Stall also shows abundance in a creating way to encourage economy; and also trade with other people and region. The background of the painting is a holy family in flight to Egypt. The message or the moral of the painting is to remember the basic Christian values, to do charity through religion and to accept really over piety. The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, c. 1505-1510 use a misleading format which was not a necessary altarpiece painting intended for
the church setting. The painting was actually meant for the courtly domestic setting and it was also meant to be read as a symbolism for the inevitability of "vice". Bosch reference proverb of transience of the canal pleasure. The Garden of Eden “paradise”, before Adam and Eve had disobey God and the owl symbolize death which suggests that things are going to drastically change.in the beginning there used to be unsettling interactions between animals and humans .the limited perception of reality make people unaware of their foolish act . We tend to lust for things that we don’t have. As I took a look at the painting of a Meat Stall by peter Aertsen painted some 40 years after Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights have many things common. Both painting were created with oil on wood panels. They also had something to do with religion. Bosch painting is referencing to Adam and eve; and Aertsen painting background is referencing to when joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus flee to Egypt because they had find out that king Herod plan to kill male infants in Bethlehem.
