4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for art, much less so for theology,
By
This review is from: The Essential: Hieronymus Bosch (Essential (Harry N. Abrams)) (Hardcover)
I did a double-take when this author attempted to explain details of Roman Catholicism as a key to grasping Bosch's paintings."The ceremony takes place at an altar that contains precious relics, which are real pieces either of the body of Christ or of a saint, or of something they have touched." Ok, that's not Christian theology at all. Simply put, it is blasphemy. No editor caught this one? Luckily, the author seems to be much better at writing about art than theology. However, as I am a neophyte about art (hence, my reading of this book) it makes me much less sure of the accuracy of the author's views after seeing such a huge blooper about something that even the most basic Christian knows. I am enjoying the art info enough to give it this four star rating.
