Art project 2

it turns out that very little of Boch's life is known other than the basic facts, such as where he was born and where he died. He spent much of his life painting the Garden, completing it at age 50. It seems that his poorly researched animal physique was not intentional or to make them seem otherworldly, but that he simply did not know what they looked like. the girrafe in the left panel, for example. He painted all of his animals based off of drawings and sketches done by travelers and explorers. The color of the fur, the high shoulders, the position of the neck, etc., indicates that the artist had never seen a real girrafe before. Though not many Europeans back then saw much of anything outside of Europe.
