We'll start with a jaunty video by Eli Rosen based on the
drawing Big Fish Eat Little Fish by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
This next video, by Dobromil Nosek, is based on Bosch's Seven
Sins. Unfortunately, we only get a glimpse of three of the
seven.
Ray Koefoed's music video, A Plague on You, is based on Brueghel's Triumph of Death and ups the ante on the creepiness
factor.
Ready for more? Andrey Zakirzyanov's edgy Break the
Silence music video is a mash-up of Bosch and Brueghel imagery with a
cameo appearance by a certain someone from the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
I've saved the most gruesome for last, Buckethead's video
for Spokes for the Wheel of Torment. Based on several paintings by Bosch,
it is not for the faint of heart. You have been forewarned.
Rave on Jane Chafin, you are the happy hero of your life. So glad to call you friend. This is important work and I thank you.
