Attributed to Jacques Le Boucq
Hieronymus Bosch
PainterKnown for:
The Garden of Earthly Delights (c.1490–1510)
Education:
Likely apprenticed in family painting workshop; no documented formal training
Hieronymus Bosch produced paintings of paradise, hell, and the moral condition of humanity in a visual language of extraordinary invention - hybrid creatures, impossible landscapes, minute figures engaged in sins and punishments - that has no precedent in Northern European art and very few successors. The Garden of Earthly Delights (c.1490–1510), a triptych now in the Prado, is among the most discussed and reproduced paintings in Western art. Almost nothing is known of his life.
