Aprašymas

Between heaven and hell: Hieronymus Bosch s meticulous visions of the grotesque, debauched, and divine As cryptic as they are compelling, the masterpieces ofHieronymus Bosch (1450 1516)remain some of the most enduring enigmas of the art world. Theirintricate, allegorical, and often startling contenthas captivated not only art historians, but alsofashion 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 ahighly subjective, richly suggestive styleto render both the celestial bliss of heaven and the grotesque tortures of hell, most famously and meticulously excecuted inThe Garden of Earthly Delights.
