Scholars have traditionally focused on the subjects and meanings of
Hieronymus Bosch's works, whereas issues of painting technique,
workshop participation, and condition of extant pictures have
received considerably less attention. Since 2010, the Bosch
Research and Conservation Project has been studying these works
using modern methods. The team has documented Bosch's extant
paintings with infrared reflectography and ultra high-resolution
digital macro photography, both in infrared and visible light.
Together with microscopic study of the paintings, this has enabled
the team to write extensive and critical research reports
describing the techniques and condition of the works, published in
this extraordinary volume for the first time. Distributed for

An accessible survey on a genius artist, published to accompany the
500th anniversary of Bosch's death Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516)
lived and worked in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, where he
created enigmatic paintings and drawings full of bizarre creatures,
phantasmagoric monsters, and terrifying nightmares. He also
depicted detailed landscapes and found inspiration in fundamental
moral concepts: seduction, sin, and judgment. This beautiful book
accompanies a major exhibition on Bosch's work in his native city,
and will feature important new research on his 25 known paintings
and 20 drawings. The book, divided into six sections, covers the
entirety of the artist's career. It discusses in detail Bosch's
Pilgrimage of Life, Bosch and the Life of Christ, his role as a
draughtsman, his depictions of saints, and his visualization of
Judgment Day and the hereafter, among other topics, and is
handsomely illustrated by new photography undertaken by the Bosch
Research and Conservation Project Team. Distributed for

Compiled by members of the Bosch Research and Conservation Project
and published on the 500th anniversary of Hieronymus Bosch's death,
this is the definitive new catalogue of all of Bosch's extant
paintings and drawings. His mastery and genius have been redefined
as a result of six years of research on the iconography,
techniques, pedigree, and conservation history of his paintings and
on his life. This stunning volume includes all new photography, as
well as up-to-date research on the individual works. For the first
time, the incredible creativity of this late medieval artist,
expressed in countless details, is reproduced and discussed in this
book. Special attention is being paid to Bosch as an image maker, a
skilled draughtsman, and a brutal painter, changing the game of
painting around 1500 by his innovative way of working. Distributed
