Something of its history and its work…

Jheronimus van Aken, known in Spain as The Bosch (1450-1516) was a painter of the Netherlands, author of an exceptional work both for the extraordinary ingenuity of its figurations and the issues discussed as for their technique. he Took his nickname from his hometown of Den Bosch (‘s-hertogenbosch in Spanish).

A curious fact is that The Bosco was not dated any of his paintings, and there are relatively few that carry a signature that can be considered not apocryphal. In addition, it has been the subject of interpretations and each generation discovers a Bosco other than the one that met the previous one, and this can be seen in the exhibition of the V centenary of the death of Bosco because his legacy remains the subject of discussions and interpretations about the meaning of their scenes dreamlike, populated by nightmare creatures.

Of their artistic activity only documented minor works not preserved, and the order of a Final Judgment in 1504 made him Philip the Handsome. But no works can be attributed with absolute safety and the characteristics of their unique style have been able to set only from a limited number of works mentioned in the written sources, after all of them at the painter’s death.

The Bosco gained in-life fame as the inventor of figures and wonderful image full of fantasy and did not take long to get followers and copycats who would do of their songs and imaginations a real genre of art, also spread through prints. Their audacity provoked who enjoyed fame in life, though his first works came to light when I was thirty years old.

The painter worked to the highest circles of the nobility, which enabled him to enjoy a comfortable economic position. The strong presence of Bosch in Spain is due to the admiration that Philip II felt for him, because it was, along with Titian, his favorite author.

Philip II, among the first and most distinguished collectors of his works, was able to gather a great number of them in the Monastery of The Escorial. In your environment also appeared to the early critics and interpreters of the work of the painter. is The monarch appreciated him a lot, playing him in key devout, said that if all paint men as they wanted to be, he painted them as they were.

Since the late NINETEENTH century, the work of The Bosco has experienced a revaluation increasing, compounded by the claim that the surrealists have made of him and in particular the Garden of earthly Delights, becoming true icons of western art.
