Hilarious Bosch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Little is known of Hieronymus Bosch\u2019s life other than that he was a dutch painter born in a city name Den Bosch. He left no documentation, letters or personal diaries behind. He is believed to have been born around 1450 and died in his late 60s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Bosch painted mostly on wooden panels with oil paints. Even though he was trained in the Flemish style of painting, Bosch would sometimes with a rough surface. This is also called Impasto painting. Bosch did not date his paintings and would occasionally sign them as his own. As a result, he (like Giorgione) has some debate surrounding the attributions to his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Last Judgement by Hieronymus Bosch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Last Judgement is one of four paintings of the same name. This painting is a triptych, which is another word for altarpiece. When opened, the piece shows a fantastical depiction of limbo and hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Garden of Earthly Delights is Bosch’s most famous painting. It is a magnificent depiction of the garden of Eden and Hell. As this piece has no real focal point, the viewer is almost invited to explore that painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Conjurer by Hieronymus Bosch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Conjurer depicts a performer distracting a patron while his lackey pick pockets him. I believe Bosch painted this as a cautionary tale to always pay attention to the real and not to false magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Cutting the Stone by Hieronymus Bosch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bosch uses symbolism in his painting, Cutting the stone. It represents a false belief in alternative medicines at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death of the Reprobate by Hieronymus Bosch<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Death of the Reprobate depicts a death scene. I love this image because of the small creature of the bottom left. That has to be the first face-hugger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hieronymus Bosch was ahead of his time as he was using hell as a medium to unleash his entire imagination. His creativity in his monsters and surreal environments are something that I can personally connect with and appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
