Hey ๐Ÿ™‚

i'm trying to find a painting that'd look cool on the wall above the head of my bed.

I like art, but don't know much about it.

Goya, Caravaggio, Blake, ... love that kinda stuff.

But i'd like to find an image that somehow depicts hedonism (preference hedonism / desire satisfaction theory) in a not so creepy way. Don't wanna scare away my potential companions ๐Ÿ˜…

Do you have an idea?

Thx!

Garden of Earthly Delights - Hieronymus Bosch

I still haven't found Waldo

I love el bosco, but the evolution of this painting was probably Bruegel in 'the triumph of death'. If you include the other panels of the triptych, it is less salutary.

This is the one I'd recommend.

While it certainly fit's the description it's a bit busy, lol.

I might consider a few sections of it though, if i can find a source with high enough resolution.

Thx!
