Bosch in Detail

Hieronymus Bosch (1450–1516) is one of the most famous artists in the history of Netherlandish painting, if not the world. This new book explores his best-known paintings and drawings, revealing them as never before in amazing full-page close-up details. Organized by characteristic themes in Bosch's work, such as faces, heaven and hell, the four elements, landscapes, and creatures both fantastic and monstrous, it offers exceptional views of masterpieces includingThe Garden of Earthly Delights, The Haywain Triptych, The Temptation ofSt. Anthony, andThe Seven Deadly Sins. Till-Holger Borchert, an expert on Netherlandish art, guides readers through the painter's work in clear and accessible language and from less-familiar and surprising angles.

Bosch in Detail is the latest in the successful series that began with Van Eyck in Detail and Bruegel in Detail.
