Bosch's Surreal Figures Become Collectible Figurines

Parastone, a British company founded nearly fifty years ago as a restorer of religious art objects, has launched the Bosch Figurines collection, transforming characters from Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights" into three-dimensional statuettes. The triptych, housed at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, is a late 15th-century Flemish medieval masterpiece. The collection focuses on the hell scene, featuring figures like the Tree-Man, Knife-Ears, Devil on a Night Chair, and a pig in a nun's headdress. Other figurines draw from Bosch's broader oeuvre, such as the Blue Egg Bird and Dancers with Owl. Priced from around €40, the statuettes are distributed by Parastone in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, England, Germany, and Austria, and are also available online. The company's shop is located in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, Bosch's birthplace.
