The diploma thesis analyzes and compares the poem The Garden of Earthly Delights by the Polish poet Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) with the triptych of the same name by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1450–1516). Miłosz took as his starting point an extremely complex, iconographically charged, moralizing three-part painting by the Dutch master. The Polish poet describes, interprets and reflects the fantasy world of Hieronymus Bosch through the prism of personal autobiographical patterns. The assignment explores this initially in a concise presentation of Bosch's complete works, iconographic program and pre-iconographic treatment of the painting in the issue. The thesis then focuses on Miłosz's poetic creation, highlighting influences, poetic motifs, and exploring one of the main poetic themes — reality. After a short formal explanation of the poem The Garden of Earthly Delights, the core of the assignment follows. This compares the poet’s exact descriptiveness with the surrealist tendencies of the painter and reflects both works in a parallel manner with the Bible as well.
