Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch is a name still commonly known and remembered by pop culture. As a painter out of his time or any time Bosch painted horrific images of hell and apocalyptical scenes (His actual time was 1450 to 1516). He is believed to have been the first infamous painter whose images were largely based off a creative mind and not drawn from reality and everyday surroundings. Bosch worked largely with conceptional work depicting the hellscape he imagined afterlife and all the torments and pain that came from living as a sinner. One quote I saw on Bosch called him the “DIscoverer of the unconscious.” Carl Jung.

Bosch is best remembered for his painting “Garden of Earthly Delights” which depicted a paradise scene alongside a more lavish scene of people mingling and finally a depressing scene of pain and torture.
