BOSCH (Jérôme) - Lot 54

BOSCH (Jérôme) Brussels, Ludion, Beaux-Arts collection, large 8vo, illustrated. Dedicated to one of the most fascinating figures in Northern European painting, this volume offers a comprehensive and elegantly illustrated introduction to the world of Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516), the undisputed master of medieval fantasy. Through the painter’s major works—from *The Garden of Earthly Delights* to *The Haywain*—the reader discovers a world populated by allegorical visions, hybrid creatures, and moral meditations whose strangeness continues to fuel the contemporary imagination. Richly illustrated in color, this volume situates Bosch within the intellectual and religious context of the former Burgundian Netherlands and highlights the considerable influence his work exerted on subsequent generations, from Bruegel to 20th-century Surrealism. A clear and accessible overview, supported by abundant illustrations, that serves as an excellent introduction to one of the most enigmatic artists in art history. Condition: illustrated paperback edition. Topics: Flemish painting, religious iconography, fantasy art, Northern Renaissance.
