Hieronymus Bosch. Life and Work

What lies behind the grotesque, sometimes comical aesthetics of Hieronymus Bosch? What attitude towards contemporary society did the artist express through his eccentric plots? Why does Bosch's infernal Middle Ages captivate us so much? Where did the pregnant emperor come from on the canvas and why, finally, are the owls not what they seem? The answers to these intriguing questions are found in the pages of this book, a deep and comprehensive study of the work of the Dutch master.
A legend of world painting, Bosch became famous not only as a talented draftsman, but as a skillful mystifier, an inventor of his own pictorial language, in which the base intertwines with the sublime, the sinful is ruthlessly exposed, and the everyday and "normal" are twisted in a macabre dance. To understand Bosch is to look into the consciousness of a medieval person, to understand what he laughs at, what he fears, what he despises, and what he reveres.
Valeria Kosyakova, the author of the acclaimed book "Apocalypse of the Middle Ages," a candidate of cultural studies, a lecturer at RGGU, and a researcher at the Center for Visual Studies of the Middle Ages and the New Time, managed to find the key to the artist's intricate symbolism.
