The Art Collection is a newly created and designed art series analyses the historical importance and cultural legacy of famous artists, from Renoir to Cezanne, through Monet, van Gogh, Degas, Klimt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin and Hieronymus Bosch, with a final volume on religious icons.
The books are distinguished by superb illustrations and colour reproductions of representative works, resulting in an essential collection for any art lover at a remarkably affordable price.
The eighth title in the series celebrates the work of Hieronymus Bosch, 1450 -1516, the Dutch draughtsman and painter from Brabant. He is one of the most notable Renaissance representatives of the Early Netherlandish school of painting. His work contains fantastic illustrations of religious concepts and narratives and within his lifetime his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria and Spain, and widely copied.
The book is full of examples of his work, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of Hell.
