What lies behind the grotesque, sometimes comical aesthetics of Hieronymus Bosch? What attitude to contemporary society did the artist express through his eccentric subjects? Why is the infernal Middle Ages of Bosch so touching to us? Where did the pregnant emperor appear on the canvas and why, finally, owls are not what they seem? The answers to these intriguing questions are on the pages of this book, a deep and rich study of the work of the Dutch master.
A legend of world painting, Bosch became famous not only as a talented draftsman, but as a skilled mystifier, the inventor of his own pictorial language, in which the base is intertwined with the sublime, the vicious is ruthlessly exposed, and the everyday and “normal” is perverted in a macabre dance. To know Bosch means to look into the mind of a medieval person, to understand what he laughs at, what he fears, what he despises, and what he reveres.
Valeria Kosyakova, the author of the acclaimed book Apocalypse of the Middle Ages, candidate of cultural studies, teacher at the Russian State University for the Humanities and an employee of the Center for Visual Studies of the Middle Ages and Modern Times, managed to find the key to the ornate symbolism of the artist.
