Paintings of Hieronymus Bosch

Bosch's pictures have always fascinated viewers, but in earlier centuries it was widely assumed that his diabolic scenes were intended merely to amuse or titillate, most people regarded him as "the inventor of monsters and chimeras'.
Philip II, though, collected his works more for education than for entertainment. A Dutch art historian in the early 17th century described Bosch's paintings chiefly as 'wondrous and strange fantasies... often less pleasant than gruesome to look at'. In the 20th century, however, scholars decided that Bosch's art has a more profound significance, and there have been many attempts to explain its origins and meaning. Some writers saw him as a sort of 15th century surrealist and linked his name with that of Salvator Dali. For others, Bosch's art reflects mysterious practices of the Middle Ages. No matter what explanation and comprehension of his art might be, Bosch remains the most extravagant painter of his time.

It's amazing how this man had such a big imagination. Specially considering his temporal context.

Much to be said about metaphor and allegory. At University we learn these concepts, as all language uses the word idea, that is directed at something we personally experience, value, believe creating our world set of values. Even in science, proper logic has a hierarchy of values, creating the science equivalent of metaphor and archetype (i.e. class) used to describe the world. To understand Bosch is to learn his language and world view; as he uses metaphor to wild ends.

All three De Tolnay, Wilhelm Fränger, and Jacques Combe may have what are for most, unorthodox interpretations of the imagery in Bosch’s paintings. I prefer the more down to earth interpretations of Dirk Bax.
