As cryptic as they are compelling, the masterpieces of Hieronymus
Bosch (c. 1450-1516) remain some of the most enduring enigmas of
the art world. Their intricate, allegorical, and often startling
content has captivated not only art historians, but also fashion
designers, rock stars, writers, and punk rockers, as well as
countless modern and contemporary artist successors. Although
rooted in the Old Netherlandish tradition, Bosch developed a highly
subjective, richly suggestive style to render both the celestial
bliss of heaven and the grotesque tortures of hell, most famously
and meticulously excecuted in The Garden of Earthly Delights. Here,
as in his other known works, his artistic language combined
religious humility with a razor-sharp wit, often playing off
pictorial versions of contemporary proverbs or figures of speech.
This book ties together the elusive threads of Bosch's oeuvre to
provide a concise introduction to an at once haunting and
enthralling pictorial world. About the series Born back in 1985,
the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book
collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series
features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre
of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
