Now available in a new edition, this book explores Hieronymus Bosch’s masterpiece Garden of Earthly Delights . Few paintings inspire the kind of intense study and speculation as Garden of Earthly Delights, the world-famous triptych by Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch. The painting has been interpreted as a heretical masterpiece, an opulent illustration of the Creation, and a premonition of the end of the world. In this book, renowned art historian Hans Belting offers a radical reinterpretation of the work, which he sees not as apocalyptic but utopian, portraying how the world would exist had the Fall not happened. Taking readers through each panel, Belting discusses various schools of thought and explores Bosch’s life and times. This fascinating study is an important contribution to the literature and theory surrounding one of the world’s most enigmatic artists. Review: Excellent book! - Love this book. Where to start to untangle the images of Hieronymus Bosch? Here’s a darn good place. Review: Five Stars - What a fabulous book, in depth examination of Bosh's fascinating paintings! Outstandingly quick delivery too. *****

Imperdível para a arte e para o estudo da imagem
Um livro simples, mas muito bem ilustrado sobre a obra de Bosch, nas palavras de um dos estudiosos da imagem mais relevantes. Levando em consideração a importação, o preço é razoável.

Really enjoyed this book
Really enjoyed this book. Bought as gift for spouse. We read and studied it together. Hours of stimulating discussion. Good quality illustrations could do with more text but simply because Bosch is such an intriguing artist.
