Description
Hieronymus Bosch and The Adoration of the Magi Return to Holland. One of the best known medieval painters in the entire (Western) art history is undoubtedly Hieronymus Bosch. This ingenious, yet mysterious master introduced a specific and highly conceptual aesthetic which disrupted the existing art canons of the time. Furthermore, looking from contemporary stance, it can be said that the artist presented the sentiment and zeitgeist of the Middle Ages in the best possible manner – the beliefs, symbols, and yearnings of the society framed by the Christian paradigm of Redemption. Bosch is best known for his complex, multilayered, ghoulish and ludacris triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights made between 1490 and 1510; however, there are several other famous works of his and one of them is The Adoration of the Magi from 1475. The interpretation of this popular Biblical theme was managed differently by Bosch, since the scene is placed in a contemporary setting where the wealth of the Magi is contrasted with the poverty of the peasants and shepherds. Het Noordbrabants Museum in Den Bosch, the artist’s lifelong residence.
