About this product

Product Information

Only 20 paintings and eight drawings are confidently assigned to Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) but in their fantastical visions they have secured his place as one of the most cult artists in history. 500 years on from his death, his works continue to inspire scholars, artists, designers, and musicians, death metal band names and designer dresses. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition offers the complete and haunting Bosch world in one compact format. Through full spreads and carefully curated details, we explore the full reach and compelling inventions of the artist's genius as well as disturbing imagination. We encounter his hybrid creatures, his nightmarish scenarios, his religious and moral framework, and his pictorial versions of contemporary proverbs and idioms. Along the way, art historian and Bosch expert Stefan Fischer reveals the most important themes and influences in these cryptic, mesmerizing masterpieces. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

  • A book to read but unscramble the images for yourself.

    Lavishly illustrated comprehensive coverage of this artist and his milieu. My only criticism is that it can be at times confusing due to the use of close-up detailing of small areas of paintings before seeing the full scale work. This means a lot of switching between pages while reading the text....I'm sure it makes for a dynamic visual display but to the detriment of focussed personal analysis.
