The teeming abundance of iconographic imagery and devilish detail in the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch (c1450-1516) has led many to see him as a sort of heretic – an astrologist, an alchemist or adamite. The focus in this book is on Bosch as an ardent realist, arguing that he is master of logically coherent motifs within the phantasmagoria of the hell scene in The Garden of Delights.
