Over in the Netherlands, in the town of Hertogenbosch, the painter Heironymus Bosch resided. Our historical knowledge on the man is incredibly limited, we are aware he passed away in the year 1516, but there lies no record of his age. It is shown that he must’ve been active for an extended period of time, as he became an independent master in the year 1488. Bosch appeared to be well known for his use of hells and demons. His painting style turned the table on the idea of traditional paintings, creating works full of fantasy and creatures no person has seen.
The idea of going against tradition has always been intriguing. Bosch can perfectly convey dark and evil themes solely through his imagination. The use of vibrant colours later transitioning to darker tones helped me to view the intimidating themes of hell.

Ariana,
Nice work on this strange, enigmatic, and unique painter from the Early Northern Renaissance. The images are good and I appreciate your personal thoughts about the work and the artist. Bosch is one of those artists that seem to defy categorization. Was he an early surrealist or a Doomsday Hellfire and Brimstone preacher? That’s what makes him so interesting.
Well Done!

Writing notes from Patrick
Good language and descriptions. Some sentences are awkward. (Over in the Netherlands, in the town of Hertogenbosch, the painter Heironymus Bosch resided. Our historical knowledge on the man is incredibly limited, we are aware he passed away in the year 1516, but there lies no record of his age.) I suggest saying the post out loud would help you hear how to improve them. For example, the second sentence could become two sentences. Using Grammarly would point out errors or awkward sentences — and misspelling as you go.
