This is a long talk so if you wish to jump directly to his most famous work 'The Garden of Earthy Delights' it is at 55:32.
Jheronimus van Aken, now known as Hieronymus Bosch, was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch around 1450 and died there in 1516. He was famous in his lifetime and is known in Spain as El Bosco and the Spanish king, Philip II, bought many of his works which are now in the Prado, Madrid.
We know very little of his life, when he painted each work and their meaning but this has not prevented a great deal of research and even more speculation driven by the power, uniqueness and suggestiveness of his work
A major exhibition of his work was held in 2016 on the 500th anniversary of his death. It opened in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and it brought together 20 of his 25 surviving panels. The exhibition was also held at the Prado in Madrid which holds his most famous work 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' and I was fortunate enough to see the exhibition there.
