About the Artist

Hieronymus Bosch was born around 1450 and died in 1516, a Dutch painter active during the Northern Renaissance. He built a distinctive style through works filled with imaginative landscapes and figures. Bosch's work often carries bizarre, surreal elements, which went on to inspire 20th-century Surrealist artists. His art crosses the boundary between reality and fantasy, symbolically expressing human instinct and social issues. Signature works include 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' [rendered loosely as 'The Wicked Woman's Toilet' and 'The Wicked Woman's House' in source] and others, which well show his original imagination and critical eye.
