Hieronymus Bosch, a Dutch painter of the Late Gothic and Early Renaissance, created complex and fantastical works that stood apart from his contemporaries. His paintings are filled with grotesque scenes depicting human desires, fantasies, and anxieties, populated by fantastical creatures. Bosch was innovative in transferring drolleriesβmonstrous and grotesque figures used to illustrate sinβfrom manuscript margins to large-scale panel paintings. His works often illustrate proverbs and figures of speech, with many subsidiary scenes offering unique interpretations.
