Only 20 paintings and eight drawings are confidently attributed to the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (circa 1450–1516), but his fantastical visions have secured his position as one of the most cult artists in history. 500 years after his death, his works continue to inspire academics, artists, designers, and musicians. This edition offers the complete and haunting world of Bosch in a compact form. Through full pages and carefully curated details, we explore the full scope and inventions of his artistic genius as well as his disturbing imagination. We encounter his hybrid creatures, his nightmarish scenes, his religious and moral framework, and the illustrated versions of contemporary proverbs and ideas. Along the way, art historian and Bosch expert Stephan Fischer reveals the most significant themes and influences in these cryptic, mesmerizing masterpieces.
