EXTINCTION

Inspired by the work of Hieronymus Bosch

Climate change has transformed and degraded habitats and ecosystems —the places where animals have spent millions of years adapting.

According to a UN report on biodiversity, one million animals and plants face extinction due to climate change.

Earth’s wildlife population has fallen on average by a “catastrophic” rate of 73% in the past half-century. In the ocean, rising temperatures increase the risk of irreversible loss of marine and coastal ecosystems. Since 1900, nearly 3 species of seed-bearing plants have disappeared per year ― 500 times faster than they would naturally.

This risk of overwhelming extinction increases with every degree of warming.

Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450’s – August 9, 1516) was a Dutch painter who was born in Brabant in 1450. While little is known about his life, he left behind around 25 fantastical paintings of religious narratives with a fondness for hellish landscapes. Bosch worked mostly in oil on oak panels, using a limited palette of pigments: azurite for blue skies and distant landscapes, malachite or verdigris for foreground landscapes and plants, and lead-tin-yellow, ochres and red lake for his depiction of figures. His most famous work, The Garden of Earthly Delights, consists of three large panels representing The Garden of Eden, The Garden of Earthly Delights, and Hell.
