About Hieronymus Bosch

1440–1516 • Southern Netherlands

Considered the most distinctive and idiosyncratic of 15th-century Netherlandish artists, he produced a body of work remarkable for its depiction of fantastic, often diabolic, creatures, generally moralizing representations of the consequences of sin and folly. He was the first European artist to give free rein to almost uncontrolled association, formal inventivity, and free choice of ideas. Comment on works: Allegory
