Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch (c.1450–1516) was a Netherlandish painter known for fantastical imagery, religious triptychs and vivid depictions of hell, including The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Born c.1450 and active in 's-Hertogenbosch; died 1516. Noted for triptychs and imaginative moral and allegorical scenes combining religious themes with grotesque and surreal figures.

The available review praises The Garden of Earthly Delights for its imaginative power and enduring symbolism. It frames Bosch's work around themes of sin, lust, esotericism and grotesque hell scenes. The reviewer highlights the triptych's ambiguous moral stance and unmatched visual fantasy.
