A monster bird devouring sinners, naked bodies in tantric contortions, a pair of ears holding a blade: with just 20 paintings and nine drawings to his name, the Netherlandish visionary Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516) secured his place as a pillar of art history. To this day, the painter of hell and demons continues to provoke and fascinate scholars, artists, designers, and musicians.

Based on the best-selling XXL edition, which saw TASCHEN commission new and exclusive photography of details and recently restored works, this large-scale monograph presents Bosch's complete works. Art historian and Bosch expert Stephan Fischer's texts analyze the many fascinating elements that fill each scene, from hybrid creatures of humans and gods to Bosch's pictorial use of proverbs and idioms.

Connecting the maneuvers of his work in an exhaustive overview, this book uncovers the mystery behind Bosch's influence and painting. The edition includes:

• Flawless full-page reproductions celebrating the artist's stunning compositional dimension.
• Enlarged details that reveal the most intricate and bizarre scenes, as well as unexplored technical details, from delicate brushstrokes to the texture of the canvas.
• A fold-out page derived from the legendary Last Judgment.
• A special chapter focusing on Bosch's most famous work, the captivating and terrifying triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights.
