Heronymous
Bosch, born Jeroen Anthonissen Van Aken (c. 1450-August 9, 1516) was
an Early Netherlandish painter of the 15th and 16th centuries. Many
of his works depict sin and moral failings.
Bosch used
images of demons, half-human animals and machines to evoke fear and
confusion to portray the evil of man. His works contain highly
original, complex and dense use of symbolic figures and iconography,
some of which was obscure in his own time. (from Wikipedia)
The shape of
the bronzes are taken directly from his paintings and drawings.
The paintings are detailed copies from three of his works.
