El Bosco (Hieronymus Bosch)

Hieronymus Bosch, also known as El Bosco, was a Dutch painter from the late 15th to early 16th century. He is famous for his detailed, imaginative, and often surreal artworks that explore themes of morality, temptations, and human folly. His paintings frequently depict fantastical scenes filled with bizarre creatures and symbolic imagery, reflecting medieval beliefs about sin and divine judgment. Bosch’s unique style combined detailed craftsmanship with a visionary imagination, making his work influential in the development of fantastical and symbolic art. His paintings invite viewers to reflect on the moral choices and the nature of human existence.
