A wonderful triptych. Again, reminiscent of Bosch, with the abstract elements fusing armour, architecture and natural shapes. The girl hiding and looking out at the viewer with such mixed emotions is superbly manipulated into the scene.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Of course it's up to Chris to see any resemblance with the work of the famous Hieronymus Bosch (if he has meant this 'Bosch'), but sorry, I can't agree with him. Bosch' work is known for its use of fantastic imagery to illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives. A lot of people think, up till now, that Bosch' work was created merely to titillate and amuse. Your work has a complete different character. Bosch didn't put mysteryous aspects in his works like you do, e.g. the almost hidden lady in the center of your creation.
Anyhow another wonderful artwork, John. I enjoy it very much.
Regards, Cornelius.

A fine portrayal - I see the destruction. The eye looking on but unable or unwilling to do or say anything to stop the inevitable because it is part of the whole, and it has become insensitive to the reality of what is happening.
Uncomfortably thought-provoking John and I may have got it all wrong but the message looks clear to me
Splendid work :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The shield don't seem to be doing her much good against that spider. Great details and design work in this image, John.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
I must have been sleeping when you posted this one. Like Chris (Coram9), it reminds me a lot of the work of 15th/16th century Dutch painter, Hieronymus Bosch. As in Bosch's work, I like the frenzied details and repetition of imagery here, and the somewhat "crusty" feel of everything, a feel of antiquity, really adds to its sense of Old World art. If Bosch could see it he'd probably appreciate the spirit of the piece, but understanding how it was created would, of course, be completely blown away, perhaps believing he'd been transported bodily and mentally to one of those bizarre landscapes he dreamed up. Love it. Savin' and favin' it... sorry it took so long.
Reading C's comment, I don't really agree with it not being religious, like a lot of Bosch's work was. A lot of the workings of the church back then was backed up by military activities, and the Medici popes of Rome, a powerful and influential Florentine family from the 13th to 17th century, were extremely militant. Pope Julius II (5 December 1443 - 21 February 1513), born Giuliano della Rovere, was nicknamed "The Fearsome Pope" and "The Warrior Pope".
