Hieronymus Bosch

Sculptor, Painter or Photographer

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.

For:Art history readers, students and fans of Northern Renaissance and fantastical imagery

 the Garden of Earthly Delights remains more than 500 years later imbued with a charm, a symbolism, and a richness perhaps unrepeatable and unparalleled.
