The Fantastical Works of Hieronymus Bosch (1450 - 1516) - An Online Exploration

You are welcome to join me for another fascinating online tour, this time exploring the fantastical, surreal, religious paintings of the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (lived 1450 - 1516).
Hieronymus Bosch was a Dutch painter from Brabant. He is one of the most notable representatives of the Early Netherlandish painting school. His work, generally oil on oak wood, mainly contains fantastic illustrations of religious concepts and narratives.
Within his lifetime his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and widely copied, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell.
We'll be exploring the little-known facts about his life, character and his times, taking a close examination and discussion of his incredible paintings, and their influence in the history of art.

another top video! did you notice the transparent tubes here and there?

[@stevenleslie8557]

I did. We're they able to fabricate glass like that 600 years ago?

[@BetwixtDandD]

I really enjoyed it :-) Like a 'forbidden' fruit, lol.

The Garden of Earthly Delights is a medieval version of Where's Waldo?.

I've been reading Michael Connelly's books whose main character is Hieronymous Bosch. He brings the original Bosch into the 20-21st century as detective Harry Bosch in which he captures the original as a 21st century character. We too live in a very strange time ...

[@edwardcalcutt3417]

Ive just been watching the tv show!! Bosch.

[@GIMPUSER100]

Great stuff ! What is the title of the Jan van Eyck painting at 12:00 ?

[@edwardcalcutt3417]

'The Crucifixion; The Last Judgment.' It's in the MET museum.

My favourite bit is the guy (or girl) getting a bunch of flowers shoved up their arse by the other person (1:01)

[@homoerectus744]

Yes,of course,of course...

[@danwilson1040]

Did Bosch use Pioti or Mescaline ,or mushrooms or some narcotic hallucinogen ? His paintings scream Acid or ketamine

[@nupraptorthementalist3306]

I've heard it theorized that he suffered from ergot poisoning (and therefore psychedelic trips) from mouldy bread, or something.

Please read up a little on Dutch history. Brabant is not "a region in Holland". Also, Den Bosch was very much part of the Spanish Netherlands (being below the big rivers) whereas your bit about the renaissance in Northern Europe is more about the Netherlands north of the rivers. (Rhine and Meuse)
