My Topic:
How can we estimate Hieronymus Bosch as a surrealist painter or a holy picture painter?
What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to find some information about what is Hieronymus Bosch's unique visions and fantasies.
Notes:
- Bosch was internationally celebrated as an eccentric painter of religious visions who dealt in particular with the torments of hell. During his lifetime Bosch's works were in the inventories of noble families of the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain.
- Bosch was a member of the religious Brotherhood of Our Lady, for whom he painted several altarpieces for the Cathedral of Saint John's, Hertogen bosch, all of which are now lost. None of Bosch's pictures are dated, although the artist signed many of them.
- Very little is known about Bosch, which somehow seems fitting since his work is so enigmatic. Many of his paintings are devotional, and there are several on the theme of the Passion. He is specially famous for his fantastic, demon-filled works.
- His work was influenced by the Flemish school of painting. The world of Bosch is one of horror and imagination. His Vision of Tondalys both amuses and frightens us. We see a strange animal forcing a sharp stick through a large ear. A creature with a great head stretches open its mouth to show a table with people both behind and under it. A man caught in a big hat finds that one of his legs is sprouting roots. People fly through the air. In the background fire lights up the sky.
Final Thoughts:
To refute the opposite side, I need to know about surrealism accurately.
