Heironymous Bosch [http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bosch/Historical] worked in the period of transition from the Medieval world to the Reformation. His work is said to prefigure the Surrealists.

Donald McKim’s text the Handbook of Major Biblical Interpreters “In relative contrast with patristic and medieval exegesis, the exegetical efforts of the sixthteenth and seventeenth centuries rested on a profound recourse to the biblical text in its original languages and in an increased focus on the literal sense of the text.”p123.

[http://www.kipling.org.uk/poems_garden.htm] I suspect that the Song of Songs rather than being literal is allegorical.
