Hieronymous Bosch

So, apparently there is a bit of mystery surrounding this artist. Not too much is known about him or left from journals and things like that.

His art, however; is well know and well studied. He used very imaginative illustrative techniques to show moral and religious concepts.

This is one similiar to Giuseppe Acrimboldo where I was pleasantly surprised that artists in this time period were doing such brave and imaginative works. I guess, the triptych is the most famous. I've seen a few of these in certain places. Really beautiful stuff. Lots of movement and levels of hierachy.
