The Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch is considered one of the most notable representatives of the Early Netherlandish painting school. His work is renowned for its fantastic imagery, ethereal landscapes, original religious concepts and, most famously, his macabre, nightmarish depictions of Hell. Though almost forgotten for centuries, today he is held as an innovative visionary, whose works offer a rare insight into humanity’s desires and deepest fears.

Frans de Waal: "Een van al mijn schatten is een boek dat ik lang geleden van medestudenten heb gekregen als cadeau voor mijn Ph.D. Het is een prachtig geïllustreerd boek over Hieronymus Bosch, de middeleeuwse schilder. Veel mensen vinden zijn kunstwerken storend, maar ik ben geboren in de regio waar hij woonde en werkte, en groeide op samen met zijn fantasierijke visioenen van hemel en hel. Ik hou van zijn aandacht voor gezichtsuitdrukkingen terwijl hij de zonden en dwaasheden van de mensheid uitbeeldt. Er zijn bovendien tonnen dieren in zijn werk gecombineerd met struiken, fruit en figuren die half mens, half dier kunnen zijn. Bosch was de eerste surrealist ter wereld." – Bron
