Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch (14501516) in his fantastical visions has secured his place as one of the premier 'cult' artists in history. Now over five hundred years after his death, the works continue to inspire scholars, artists, designers, and musicians, death metal band names and designer dresses..
This 'Bibliotheca Universalis' edition offers the complete and haunting Bosch world in one compact format. Through full spreads and carefully curated details, we explore the full reach and compelling inventions of the artists genius as well as disturbing imagination. We encounter his 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.
