Parastone Sculptures
Header Photo: Three of the most popular Bosch Parastone figurines. The middle one, The Tree Man, is probaly the best seller of all the sculptures. The detail is incredible, I mean really incredible. That right panel from The Garden of Earthly Delights (whence the image comes) must be one of the most iconic pictures in the whole history of art.

About Parastone
First things first: there are no better Bosch sculptures/figures than these Parastone figures anywhere. The attention to detail & the 3d effect breathes new life in the work of the masters, especially, for me, the incomparable Bosch.
Who knows for 100% what Bosch meant in his work? The meanings have been, thankfully, lost in the midsts of time. That fact alone makes him the ultimate Surrealist.
Parastone was originally part of the famous Borzo art dealership which was founded in 1880 and it primarily specialised in restoring religious art. When, alongside the latter activity, an increasing number of sculptures were produced after own designs, it was decided – in 1963 – to found Parastone as an independent company.
For over 50 years now, Parastone has successfully designed decorative sculptures, partly of timeless classic beauty, partly aligned with current trends. The museum images entitled Mouseion constitute an important part of the collection. Alongside exact copies of important works of art, Mouseion also consists of three-dimensional interpretations of paintings and sketches by many artists ranging from Jheronimus Bosch to Salvador Dali (the ultimate modern day Bosch?).
Parastone is located in ’s-Hertogenbosch, a historic city in the Netherlands and the birthplace of famous Medieval painter Jheronimus Bosch.
Wow, the works coming from where Bosch was from. Where Bosch breathed the same air - knew the same countryside.
Bosch and Parastone: what a magical combination.

On the left of the central panel of the Garden of Earthly Delights an unsuspecting man is seduced by a black woman. In the Middle Ages people of colour were viewed as evil. The sin takes place on a duck, the symbol of stupidity and alcoholism, and is observed by a large, colourful kingfisher.

Bird Letter
Sculpture
Superb. Figure derived from Bird with Letter sculpture from Temptation of St. Anthony
Medium: Resin
Dimensions: 4.5 in. x 4 in. x 2.5 in.
Condition: New in box
Date of Creation: 1990-Now
Origin: Europe
Manufactured by: Parastone Mouseion
Beautifully rendered and constructed of fine collectible quality resin.
This is a 4.5 inch tall sculpture titled Bird with Letter of a figure from The Temptation of Saint Anthony, the masterful work by the famous Late Gothic medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch (Jheronimus Bosch) (see original picture).
The inscription on this note in the beak of this birdlike monster on skates could throw a light on the contemplated symbolism. Unfortunately, this text, which is difficult to read, is open to various interpretations, but none of them are proven to be accurate. The postman-like freak is perhaps delivering a letter to the conspiring figures in the hole under the bridge. The funnel on this curious bird's head gives him a preposterous appearance. This headwear is referred to elsewhere as wisdom or absent-mindedness, but that symbolism seems unsuitable here.

Beautifully rendered and constructed of fine collectible quality resin.
This is a 4 inch tall sculpture titled Egg Monster of a figure from Last Judgement, the masterful work by the famous Late Gothic medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch (Jheronimus Bosch) (see original picture).
Amidst the many unlucky ones who are speared, ripped open, strangled or even fried, the monster in the egg that has been shot by an arrow, steps jovially into the middle panel. He appears to be detached from his entourage. Meanwhile, his fellow monsters are painstakingly going about their core-business: carrying out the merciless delivery of the final punishment, for us sinners, in a most inventive manner.

Condition: New in box
Date of Creation: 1990-Now
Origin: Europe
Manufactured by: Parastone Mouseion
Beautifully rendered and constructed of fine collectible quality resin.
This is a 4 inch tall sculpture titled Devil's Choir of a figure from Saint John the Evangelist at Patmos, the masterful work by the famous Late Gothic medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch (Jheronimus Bosch) (see original picture).
The Virgin Mary makes a heavenly appearance to St. John the Evangelist in one of the paintings completed by Hieronymus Bosch in his later years. It is calmer than Garden of Earthly Delights but still contains a noteworthy character, The Choir's Devil, at lower right.
This theatrical black freak could be a Tytinillus. This spy kept an eye on the clergymen who were members of the choir. If the gentlemen didn't keep their minds on the lesson or if they let their thoughts wander off into undesired directions, then, on Judgment Day, they were confronted with the accurate notes of this spectacled bookkeeper. What his plans were with the hook remains open to question. This instrument was normally used by the devil to drag sinful souls into hell.

This is a 4.75 inch tall sculpture titled Monster of a figure from Temptation of St. Anthony, the masterful work by the famous Late Gothic medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch (Jheronimus Bosch) (see original picture).
On the left of the middle panel, a curious procession of demonic creatures files past us. Here, Hieronymus Bosch exposes the administration of justice of his time. The severed leg of an executed person dangles from the wheel. A perforated swine refers to the strange custom of also judging sinful animals. This typically mediaeval fantasy creature can be found in the foreground.

The attribution of this panel to Jheronimus Bosch is debatable. It dates from his time indeed, but it is possibly made by another painter from the north of the Netherlands. In this respect, the name of Geertgen tot Sint Jans is mentioned. Despite the threats surrounding him, the hermit sits there contemplating imperturbably. Even his pig does not seem impressed by this peculiar Bird Monster with Castle Body which attacks him (see original picture).

On the left hand side on the middle panel of the triptych, The Last Judgement, a cheerful blue creature adds lustre with his music to the horrifying spectacle. He symbolises the lawlessness, ending in many not being admitted to heaven on Judgement Day (see original picture).

It is presumed that somehow Bosch had knowledge of the Visio Tungdali, a twelfth century handwriting that describes a vision of a journey through hell. This was possibly the basis for this Devil, crowned with a cauldron, symbolising the diabolical inferno fire. He is sat on a night chair, which offers him the possibility of excreting the gorged souls. His curious footwear in the shape of pitchers symbolises dipsomania (see original picture)

Two enormous ears, held together by an arrow and a knife jammed in between. Is there an allegorical medieval symbolism behind this, or are the horrible tortures one might expect in hell pictured here once more? Is the monogram on the knife an M of the B of Bosch? Maybe we will never know what Bosch --had between his ears -- when he was painting this picture. But for me that is the magic of Bosch: nobody knows for sure what the hell he actually meant (see original picture).

On the right panel of the triptych, The Temptation of Saint Anthony, the devoted Saint turns his head from the naked devil queen and her entourage.

This armoured fish moves in the water like a boat in front of the main scene: the celebration of 'black mass'. In the Temptation of Saint Anthony, fish appear in all shapes and sizes. This one still swims, but his fellow sort can be found on dry land or even in the air. Up there they serve as cold-blooded means of conveyance for what could be witches (see original picture).

At the bottom of the left-hand panel of the Hermit Saints Triptych walks a head-footer among the fantastic animals. The creature’s anatomical inconsistencies are hidden by a turban. Bosch here continues a classical Greek tradition in which leaving out large areas of the body was seen as frightening. An owl nests on the torso-less being’s head. Here it does not symbolise wisdom, like Athena’s owl, but deception and scheming. After all, this bird of prey was thought to surprise innocent, sleeping prey in the dark (see original picture).

The middle panel of the triptych, The Last Judgement, shows a 'rillo' with beard, a freak with merely a head and legs. Furthermore, this creature has been adorned by Bosch with the tail of a reptile.

Hiëronymus Bosch warns us against the consequences of a life of sin. The downfall of the rebellious angels on the left panel heralds the beginning of the end. Further, one sees the chosen few in heaven, with below them the vast remainders who will have to undergo the most horrendous tortures on Judgement Day.
Links op het centrale paneel bevindt zich een duivels taveerne. Er worden mensen gekookt, gerookt, door de gehaktmolen gedraaid, uitgeperst, gebakken en aan het spit gebraden. (see original picture).
As of 2014, I found that amazon now stock many of the Bosch Parastone sculptures. As it is impossible to compete with their buying power you may well find the sculpture cheaper there. I have put links to both their US and UK sites below which will take you to their Bosch sculpture pages.
If I can ever compete with their prices then I will stock them again as I do love these sculptures and they deserve to be owned by as many people as possible. I also miss those conversations with fellow Bosch/Parastone admirers who are adding a sculpture or starting a collection. For now it's enough to present them as beautiful as I possibly can.

On the foreground of the shocking central panel stands a creature characteristic of Bosch's work, consisting of only one head on two feet. His anatomical imperfections are covered by a headscarf. The painter has embroidered upon a classical Greek form in his own distinctive way. In ancient times, omitting body parts was also considered frightening. The character, amusing to us, seems to be taking a carefree stroll through the bloody scene of the Last Judgement (see original picture).

This helmeted bird monster is carrying a pencil box and an inkpot in its beak, in which the nun, decaying into a pig, is dipping her pen. A severed foot is swinging from the bird's helmet referring to the horrible corporal punishments which could be expected in hell. The pig, indeed an indictment against the decay of clergy life, is tempting the man who is sitting beside him and it appears that he is drawing up a contract. Is the man possibly selling his soul? (see original picture)

This creature with its monstrous skull is riding on a peculiarly plucked goose-like creature. He is playing his harp, here as a symbol for one of the many temptations to which mankind is exposed and which Saint Anthony so bravely resisted. Even in those days, making music could apparently lead to lecherous behaviour (see original picture).

This splendid exotic fountain is situated amidst a blissful paradisiacal scene. Its design is alienating, almost extraterrestrial. In the hole, placed exactly in the middle of the left panel, we can see an owl as a contemplative central figure. Placed in the forefront, Christ introduces Adam to his future wife. Bosch must have subsequently wondered whether, looking at the right panel, this was such a smart idea. (see original picture).

On the left panel of the triptych, The Temptation of Saint Anthony, the Saint is carried away after he has been battered by the devil. In the sacred story he is once again assaulted and tossed high into the air by the devils. Poor Anthony here lies praying on a flying frog, whilst he is being besieged by devils in wolves clothing. The frog appears on the painting as an androgynous symbol several times (see original picture).

Many recognize a self-portrait in one of Bosch's most famous hybrid creatures. The hollow space in the egg-shaped body offers space for a pub. All breaks adrift through the two boats in which the tree-shaped paws are situated. Music and dance may have lead to licentiousness, symbolised by the bagpipes on the headwear. (see original picture).

This sculpture adaptation, The Witches' Kitchen, from Bosch's Last Judgement painting is taken from the central panel on the left side which illustrates a diabolic tavern. People are being cooked, smoked, put through mincing machines, squeezed, fried and roasted on the spit. In this witches' kitchen, sinners are subjected to the 'Judicium Extremum' of the Supreme Judge. The punishment reflects the nature of the sins committed, in this case indulgence and gluttony (see original picture).

The forces of evil call out in seduction towards the young mermaid. Will the two embrace each other and become lovers or will the forces of good and evil keep their distance? This pairing appears in the central panel, just left of the Paradise fountain in the water in the Garden of Earthly Delights. (see original picture).
