“Bosch’s work, more than 500 years after his death, still retains an incredible power, but also a wonderful and much-debated sense of obscurity; was he a grotesque humorist or penitent painter of horrors?”
Elden Ring sells like Call of Duty and looks like a Hieronymus Bosch panel. An art magazine taking a video game seriously is still rare enough to make news. The comparison holds. Both build worlds out of dread and deformed bodies, and both refuse to explain what any of it means.
