Netherland painter Hieronymus Bosch, who was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) in 1450, is renowned in the art world for his work, especially his nightmarish, horrific, and fantastical depictions of Hell. His piece “The Garden of Earthly Delights” is the inspiration for many other works, including Metallica‘s “Until It Sleeps”.
In 2016, the Noordbrabrants museum in Den Bosch will be hosting the largest gallery of Bosch’s work ever, featuring 20 paintings and 19 drawings. This gallery will occur on the 500th anniversary of Bosch’s passing. More about the event can be found here.
Below are some examples of his work.
