Book Hieronymus Bosch Masterpieces of Art - Flame Tree Publishing

Bosch lived and worked over 500 years ago in the Dutch city of Hertogenbosch, from which he took his name. He is best known for his fantastic, wondrous art filled with strange creatures, both grotesque and heavenly. The work he left behind still defies imagination. Considering the latest research, Hieronymus Bosch: Masterpieces of Art presents an overview of what is known about this elusive painter and draftsman, and recreates his impressive works (and some of his followers') from traditional biblical tales with a Boschian twist, such as the Adoration of the Magi, to his apocalyptic Four Visions of the Hereafter. His diptychs and triptychs, such as the famously intricate Garden of Earthly Delights, are covered, as well as his stunning line drawings, such as The Wood Has Ears, The Field Has Eyes.

Fascinating titles and a very wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
