Devil in the details: The symbols, monsters, and morals of a Netherlandish radicalA bird-monster devouring sinners, naked bodies in tantric contortions, a pair of ears brandishing a sharpened blade: with
nightmarish details and fantastical painterly schemes, Netherlandish visionary
Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) secured his place as an art historical magnet. 500 years on from his death, his extraordinary works continue to enthrall scholars, artists, designers, and musicians.
This large-scale TASCHEN monograph presents the complete Bosch oeuvre, celebrating the artist’s
staggering compositional scope and most
bizarre and intricate details through full-page reproductions, abundant details, and a
fold-out spread drawn from The Last Judgement. With guidance from art historian and
Bosch expert Stefan Fischer, we explore the many compelling elements that populate each scene, from hybrid creatures of man and beast, to painterly assaults on the body, and a pictorial use of proverbs and idioms. Particular attention is given to Bosch’s most famous work, the
mesmerizing, terrifying triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights.
