Subject: Aion Cover

    In a brave attempt to dispell the image of a reckless test tube
watcher I subscribe to a weekly magazine called The Great Artists
which focuses on a different artist every week.  This week's issue
concerned Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516), the dude whose art appears on
the cover of the DCD cover Aion.  The album cover is actually just a
SMALL excerpt from a 3-panelled alterpice (central panel 86.5"x76.25",
side wings 86.5"x38.25") called "The Garden of Earthly Delights"
(somehow this name rings a bell....??).  It is really quite a
stunning portrait.  The two side panels depict Heaven and Hell
respectively while the central panel concerns the "restless persuit
of earthly pleasures where Bosch's figures engage in copulation and
other arcane pleasures."  The panel depicting hell is really
interesting-a cross between a Dali and William Blake/Dante.
    This magazine should be freely available in all other
commonwealth countries.  It is issue 32.
