The picture I posted isn't the greatest quality, so it's hard to see the minute detailing. Spannish Kings as well as the Habsburg Kings liked these works a lot. Maybe you might have seen it in a castle in Spain somewhere?? If you get a chance to look it up in an art book or something, you should. It's hilarious and well worth your time! People in the 60's used to have Hieronymus Bosch parties. They would dress up like the scenes - men with genitals that turned into strawberries, the whipping flowers and flowers out of the butt scene, erotic men and women in 'bubbles.' Bosch had an amazing imagination. There's a scene where this guy is looking out of a strawberry through this plastic tube (plastic was obviously not invented in the 16th century) at this cute rat like animal. The foutains are very phalic in nature, too - kind of amusing. Anyways, I'll look around online and see if I can find a better picture of this work and I'll post it.
