From the Book Jacket,

This review is from: Hieronymus Bosch (Master Artists Library) (Hardcover)
The complex and extravagant imagery of Hieronymous Bosch (1450-1516) has earned him renown as one of the world's most fascinating artists. He made the struggle of human sin and fear of judgment tangible in a way that has never been surpassed. Bosch's master role is realized here in this complete and remarkable collection, and through Dr. Erik Larsen's unrelenting study of the artist, his work, and the continuing controversy surrounding the interpretations and dates of his paintings.
Bosch Premiers as one of the first of four titles in the Master artists Library series, the first collection to reproduce in dazzling color every painting by a featured artist. Each volume provides unsurpassed dimension through in depth analysis of the paintings and extensive artist biographies, as written by the world's leading art historians. The first four books-Vermeer, Bosch, Masaccio, and Dûrer-are only the beginning of a complete and magnificent library of the world's master artists.

MORE FOR A SCHOLAR THAN AN ART APPRECIATOR,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hieronymus Bosch (Master Artists Library) (Hardcover)
Although truthfully described as 148 pages, this edition offers only about 40 prints. Over a third of them are left and right triptych sections, set two on a page. The matte or semi-gloss coating of the pages offer muted renditions of Bosch's work; there's a dimness felt, partly by the artist's bleak design, perhaps more-so by the printing process.
To the book's credit, the writing regarding the artist, his milleu and the art's analysis/context was direct, seemingly thorough and informative. So this book, the least expensive around, is well-worth the discount price. If you're looking for a more dramatic coffee-table book, look elsewhere. Most people are interested the Bosch for his weird little people. Or his Garden of Earthly Delights. But if you've got more scholarly needs, this book'll do just fine.

Worth the Price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hieronymus Bosch (Master Artists Library) (Hardcover)
Erik Larsen's book on Bosch looks good on a coffee table and reads even better. Nicely bound and a terrific summer read.
