Hieronymus Bosch


Hieronymus Bosch (1450 – 9 August 1516) is a brilliant artist, in my opinion the first of his kind. He created many pieces depicting hell and horror. His work is brilliant, vivid and detailed. 

The Garden of Earthly Delights.
This tryptic shows light, bright colours in the centre and left panel and dark, dim colours in the panel to the right. Setting the tone for the imagery placed in those panels.


A small piece from the above - The Garden of Earthly Delights.
Hieronymus Bosch's work is very cleverly put together, he seems to have an extremely creative mind that can put together a tonne of random creatures, objects and elements to create an interesting piece that draws you in.

Another selected part of The Garden of Earthly Delights.
There is so much to look at in this piece!
Another depiction of an afterlife in hell.
