Item: 393867493118 HIERONYMUS BOSCH Complete Works (9'圆'x2') TASCHEN 40th ed. “Hieronymus Bosch : The Complete Works″ art book details : This one gets my highest recommendations. I also like the thick and durable paper stock on which the book is printed on, which makes for very comfortable browsing and appreciation of the art pieces. Taschen has made an art book of exceptional quality, an all-round package with fantastic reproductions of Hieronymus paintings. (above) The book is housed in a beautiful and sturdy cardboard carry case and keeps the book in pristine condition during shipping. From here on the pages are printed on a different grade of paper, with a canvas-like, textured feel that is great to the touch and make the drawings ( images below ) look great. (above) Towards the end of the book is a catalogue of the artist’s paintings, with additional notes and documentation on each piece. Another good reason ( besides Las Meninas ) to visit the museum in the near future. (above) A giant centerfold for the painter’s most renowned work The Garden Of Earthly Delights, which can be found at the Museo Del Prado in Madrid, Spain. As an art student I took to his paintings very quickly because they were so markedly different from the work of other painters I was looking at. What went on in the head of Hieronymus to conjure up such bizarre imagery one can only imagine. The paintings are reproduced in superb quality, with high fidelity in the colors and almost jarring details in many of the magnified sections of the artist’s massive pieces. Measuring 18 x 12.5 x 2 inches, this colossal volume is one of the biggest art books I’ve purchased, equal in dimensions ( except for thickness ) to another of Taschen’s books Gustav Klimt : The Complete Paintings and Phaidon’s The Art Museum. Hieronymus’s allegorical creations on canvas are often an intriguing mix of surrealistic fantasy and grotesque, phantasmagoric visions. Hieronymus Bosch : The Complete Works by Taschen Books is a staggering and sumptuous collection of paintings by the Early Netherlandish master ( 1450 – 1516 ).
