Bosch

Abbey Library, London, 1974. First Thus. Hardcover (White Paper Covered Boards). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Hieronymus Bosch was a Dutch/Netherlandish 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. Bosch 's visions. curious mixturesof tradition and invention. are painted in a style that is at once meticulous and masterly and in atechnique that is always rich and varied. His figures are slender. often silhouetted against light. unreal backgrounds. This work full of weird and seeminglyirrational imagery. has proved so difficult to interpret that much of it, despite the remarkable insightscontributed by recent research remains unsolved.Translated from the Romanian (as published by Meridiane Publishing House, Bucharest) by Marin Tarangul & into English by Andreea Gheorghitoiu with a 29-page illustrated introduction, chronology & concordances, biographical summary & list of illustrations, followed by 70 reproduction plates in both colour & b/w.
