Hieronymus Bosch

The biography of Hieronymus Bosch, written by Nils Büttner, offers a deep insight into the life and works of one of the most fascinating painters in art history. Bosch, who was born around 1450/55 and died in 1516, is known for his fantastic and often enigmatic images that continue to captivate viewers to this day. Büttner, a professor of Medieval and Modern Art History, sheds light on the artist's career, which included work for the highest noble and infernal circles. By analyzing Bosch's works in the context of the culture and realities of his time, the original meaning of his often surreal images is restored. This biography is not only a tribute to Bosch but also a valuable resource for anyone interested in art history and the development of the visual arts.
