Description

Only 20 paintings and eight drawings are confidently assigned to Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516), yet their fantastical visions have secured his place as one of the most cult artists in history. Five hundred years after his death, his works continue to inspire scholars, artists, designers, and musicians, influencing everything from death metal band names to designer dresses.

This edition offers the complete and haunting Bosch world in one compact format. Through full spreads and carefully curated details, we explore the extensive reach and compelling inventions of the artist's genius as well as his disturbing imagination.

We encounter Bosch's hybrid creatures, his nightmarish scenarios, his religious and moral framework, and his pictorial versions of contemporary proverbs and idioms. Along the way, art historian and Bosch expert Stefan Fischer reveals the most important themes and influences in these cryptic, mesmerizing masterpieces.
