http://boschproject.org has some extremely high resolution versions of some of Bosch's work along with infrared view and some cool Bosch research.


I have to admit that I clicked this expecting to read about a fictional Los Angeles detective.


So happy I am not the only one.


This appeared not too long ago on HN also; https://tuinderlusten-jheronimusbosch.ntr.nl/en (An interactive/annotated page for Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights)


I adore Bosch. His most famous works are almost reminiscent of the surrealist period of the 1900s but with the vastness typical of a lot of Renaissance era art. One of my favorites, however, is Creation of the World [1]. Reminds me of some of the awesome science fiction art of the 80s.

Amazing painter who seemed to be centuries ahead of his time. Visit the exhibition (or see one of his works in a museum) if you can.


I've never read a review of an art exhibition before. I never even thought to question the curators the way I might question the author of the book.
