The Museo del Prado houses the largest known collection of works by
Jheronimus Bosch. Among its holdings are The Adoration of the Magi
and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptychs, as well as the
original of The Haywain, making it the ‘home of Bosch’ and the
perfect institution to hold a major exhibition marking the
quincentenary of the artist’s death. This magnificent, richly
illustrated book reproduces these masterpieces and other recently
cleaned and restored paintings, and reveals hitherto unknown facets
of Bosch’s art. A distinguished team of Bosch scholars contribute
to the volume. Pilar Silva Maroto’s essay presents an updated
biography of Bosch and his family, and includes all the surviving
documents dating from his lifetime. It also locates the artist in
the context of his home town, ’s-Hertogenbosch, and offers an
in-depth appreciation of his status as a painter and draughtsman.
Eric De Bruyn considers Bosch’s sources in texts and images; Paul
Vandenbroeck, his values and ideology; and Larry Silver, the sins
and their punishment, a fundamental theme in the artist’s work.
Finally, there is a ‘conversation’ between Reindert Falkenburg
and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptych, and a reflection by
Fernando Checa on the reception of Bosch at the Habsburg court in
Flanders and in Spain in the 16th century. The catalogue entries
for the paintings belonging to the Prado collection discuss the
findings of recent technical research carried out specifically for
the exhibition, which has shed new light on these works.
