Bosch is considered one of the most important and innovative painters of the Northern Renaissance, and his work has been widely acclaimed for its ingenious and dream-like qualities, depicting monsters, demons, and mythical creatures. It is important to note that Bosch lived in an era where sin and hell where a source of anxiety amongst the masses, influencing other artists, such as Dante in his Divine Comedy. Writing and painting, of the purest forms of self-expression, where used as a channel and form of catharsis.

p.s: Hieronymus Bosch is one of my favourite artists! I was thrilled to revisit his work at Palazzo Reale in Milan last December. I first encountered his work at the Prado Museum several years ago and was immediately drawn to his unique style. The brilliant color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and imagination depicted in his pieces always strike me! Understanding the time period in which he lived, gives one a broader understanding of his work, and highlights the recurring theme that fear of the unknown is a universal human element. Will we ever break this pattern of thought? Perhaps living in the now and reaching internal peace is the answer...

Until next time,
