Jerome Bosch is an artist preoccupied with sexual symbolism. The intentional meaning is often of great complexity but that is not our concern at present, though it is of interest to note that an alchemical doctrine with which he was bound to have been familiar assumed the sexual basis of all matter. He is one of those religious artists who consider the universe as a place of distraction, illusion, and peril - possibly even the creation of the Devil. His animistic sense of a landscape which nourishes monsters is related, not to rational thought, but is an image of early childhood before the differentiation of the self from the external world is achieved. Desire and guilt are mingled in S. Jerome at Prayer, ca (Ghent); although the S, is seen at prayer Bosch lavishes extraordinary care on the landscape. The ground itself is organic, reminiscent of phantasies of the creative properties of excrement. I do not want to relate this pervasive sexuality in Bosch's art to a particular event or feature of his life: it is sufficient at present if I can persuade you that the spectators of works of art, ourselves, deny an essential element in art by avoiding the recognition of sexual content.
