Only twenty paintings and eight drawings can be safely attributed to the Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch, Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1450-1516), but thanks to his fantastic visions he has become one of the most important cult artists in history. 500 years after his death, his works continue to be a source of inspiration for researchers, artists, designers and musicians, names of death metal groups and designer dresses.
This edition offers the disturbing universe of Bosch in its entirety in a compact format. With fold-outs and special attention to detail, we get to know the compositional facets of the artist and the most fascinating and disturbing creations that came out of his boundless imagination. These pages revive their hybrid beings, their Dantesque scenes, their religious and moral context, and their pictorial versions of proverbs and idioms. The succession of images is complemented by texts by Stefan Fischer, art historian and expert on the figure of Bosch, who reveals to the reader the most relevant themes and influences of these cryptic and mesmerizing works of art.
