 | Bosch by Carl Linfert
With his phantasmagoric images of Heaven and Hell, Hieronymous Bosch was one of those rare artists who introduce a new vision to the history of his medium. Not only do Bosch`s tormented demons prefigure the discovery of the unconscious with its multifarious forces, but his portrayal of the destructive power of machines prophesied our own age`s dilemma. Of the 40 full-page colorplates in this book, 34 are details that bring the reader directly into the vast altarpiece paintings which comprise much of Bosch`s work, offering a close examination of Bosch`s unique creations.
