Taman Kenikmatan Duniawi itu apa sih?

Taman Kenikmatan Duniawi adalah judul modern dari lukisan minyak triptych pada panel kayu ek yang dilukis oleh pelukis Belanda Awal, Hieronymus Bosch, antara 1490 dan 1510, ketika Bosch berusia antara 40 dan 60 tahun. Lukisan ini disimpan di Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spanyol sejak 1939.

Karena sedikit yang diketahui tentang kehidupan dan intensi Bosch, makna lukisan ini diinterpretasikan sebagai nasihat tentang pemanjaan kenikmatan duniawi, peringatan mengerikan tentang bahaya godaan hidup, hingga kebangkitan kenikmatan seksual tertinggi. Kerumitan simbolismenya, khususnya pada panel pusat, telah menyebabkan berbagai interpretasi ilmiah selama berabad-abad. Sejarawan seni abad kedua puluh bersilang pendapat mengenai apakah panel tengah triptych ini adalah peringatan moral atau panorama dari surga yang sirna.
