Hieronymus Bosch

Art Appreciation

Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch is known for his paintings of religious themes using fantastic imagery to illustrate moral and spiritual conflicts.

Although, little is known of the late-Medieval painter, Bosch's work continues to be a subject of interpretation. General consensus, however, is that his artwork was influenced by his religious upbringing.

You can see more of his paintings HERE.
