2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Adequate for what it isBy Hatbox DragonA small-format book on Hieronymus Bosch. which contains a short introductory essay and colour plates of all known (or securely attributed) works by this 15th-16th century painter of the fantastic and macabre. For me. its worth having for the plates. The reproductions are adequate to poor - for some thats due to the small format. for others rubbish digital file quality or because some of the works arent in great shape anyway - but it is all the works in one place and gives me a basis for hunting up more specific information in future.The introductory essay is barely adequate as history. In addition to minimal information. it features repetition. internal contradictions. some poor grammar and a complete and utter lack of references to source material. It also has a particular attitude. as represented by this quote: "From the luxury of more modern times. we can appreciate Boschs paintings for their sheer artistry and stirring imagination without being terrified by their visions of hell." But of course! No-one with the slightest claim to intelligence and sophistication could possibly have genuine religious faith. Priests "thundered" from the pulpit to terrify their congregations and were of course bad people; patrons only commissioned religious art to "glorify themselves". Bah.Overall verdict: a miniature coffee-table book that serves as a taster for a more in-depth exploration of Bosch.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Quick ReferenceBy Dan HolderEverything you need to know about the artist along with a good representation of his work in a package almost small enough to carry in your back pocket. Well worth the price considering it obviously was not proofread before being sent to the publisher. Page 12 incorrectly describes his most famous painting as having Eden Hell both on the right side panel.
