This is an Jheronymus Bosch sculpture entitled "BIRD WITH LETTER" from THE TEMPTATION OF SAINT ANTHONY.

This statue is a three dimensional adaption of Bird With Letter from Hieronymus Bosch's famous alter painting of The Temptation of Saint Anthony.  What a treat to bring alive Bosch's Northern Renaissance painting in a new way!

ABOUT THE ARTWORK - THE TEMPTATION OF SAINT ANTHONY Saint Anthony won a lot of praise in Hieronymus Bosch's heyday. He resisted diabolical temptations, in sharp contrast with the ordinary mortals, as this triptych portrays in splendid colors. The closed panels show the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. The inscription on this note in the beak of this birdlike monster on skates could throw a light on the contemplated symbolism. Unfortunately, this text, which is difficult to read, is open to various interpretations, but none of them are proven to be accurate. The postman-like freak is perhaps delivering a letter to the conspiring figures in the hole under the bridge. The funnel on this curious bird¹s head gives him a preposterous appearance. This headgear is referred to elsewhere as wisdom or absent-mindedness, but that symbolism seems unsuitable here.

This is a highly collectible, quality, resin sculpture with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish.

Have you ever wondered what the artwork looked like from behind the painting? Or from the side? To remind you of your museum experience, each figurine comes with a color card of the original painting, information about the painter and a description of the specific figurine reproduced.
