Exhibition catalogue published 2015
An intriguing exhibition catalogue explores the significant role that prints inspired by Hieronymus Bosch played in establishing the Netherlandish master as a highly desirable brand in the growing print market of the sixteenth century. This book discovers Bosch’s neglected print legacy. Bosch made no prints himself, but his contemporary Alart du Hameel did produce a handful of engravings directly inspired by Bosch’s model. By contrast, the later Boschian prints, which make up most of the catalogue, are not literal reproductions of known works by the artist. Instead, they draw inspiration from Bosch’s unique legacy of artistic invention.
