Hieronymus Bosch: The Complete Works Hardcover – Download: Adobe Reader, February 26, 2016

This book arrived packaged with care, and in great condition. I have never been happier with a purchase, and this will bring my joy for decades to come. Numerous, wonderful closeup detail shots of Bosch's spectacular art to accompany the full renditions; several fold-old pages for even larger options; I am captivated and enthralled!

This tome of Bosch's bizarre and tantalizing artwork is the Golden Standard, which no other book can match. The color reproductions and how the artwork is displayed, both in full and in detail when needed, are second to none.Bosch's place in art history has been somewhat marginalized, yet his influence on artists in the very distant future cannot be ignored or understated. Where would Dali, Magritte, and so many others be without some influence of Bosch? Bosch was a visionary with a profound talent and this book clearly documents his genius with aplomb. Highly recommended for the professional or layman.Bosch has even been humorously honored in "Danny and the Dreamweaver" for younger readers, for those interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997680733/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_B9iVCbXYEAN6C

This book is fantastic! Pun intended. The quality of the reproductions is unequaled---each brush stroke is visible and you can finally discern the little dark creatures hidden in the murkiness. The text provides clear explanations of the pictures and their historical backdrops. The quality of the paper and the binding make this book a work of art. The same day I bought this book for $35 I bought a few PVC plumbing parts for $40. It's a funny world we live in...

This is so much better than I expected- The quality is excellent- truly the best of its kind. This book is huge- just over 13" high; the colors and details radiant and the paper astonishingly thick. The reproductions are unusually vibrant and clear. This magnificent book even includes a catalog of drawings- detailed studies underscoring the painter's genius. Beautiful and horrifying by turns, these paintings are captivating. Especially recommended for artists and art students. Five Stars.

Large book, about 16 x 12 inches, packed with high-quality pictures on glossy paper, a real gold mine! The text is written by art guys for art guys, and may be a lot more informative to serious historians than casual readers. Just buy it! The pics alone are worth it. Beautiful and hypnotic.

This is a little bit smaller version of the original large and outstanding edition of the Complete Works of Hieronymus Bosch by Stefan Fisher.The quality of art reproduction is the same, perfect, as well as the accompanying text. Maybe more important, this edition is affordable in terms of price (at least thus far) for the the individuals who love Hieronymus Bosch but cannot afford to buy the original edition.

I barely had the time to look at it, I trusted Taschen! It was a birthday gift for my 27 years old grandson who looked entranced by it, need I say more?

I love the detail pages which are really necessary with this artist. I wish they covered all areas of the big paintings—I found myself looking at those with a magnifying glass. Also wish there were more fold out pages. Still I love the book and the artist and have drawn much inspiration from perusing his paintings.

Todo excelente, el libro intacto y la edición está a un excelente precio.

If you don't know this guy, you should.Here are some PROS / CONS I've noticed after using it for a while (hopefully they help you, and save you some time!)PROS:-It tells you a bit about each painting. It's not a simple slide show.-The colors are brilliant, and the pages are large (see picture along side Leonardo's book and a regular size pen)CONS:-None so far. I'm loving everything in this book including the added text.

Este é um dos livros mais belos que você provavelmente irá manusear na sua vida. É quase um item de colecionador, de tão bonito. (Existe uma versão ainda mais cara que tem reproduções gigantes, que se desdobram, do Garden of Earthly Delights, com a qual o Leonardo di Caprio presentou o papa em sua visita ao Vaticano há uns anos atrás.) As reproduções são extremamente detalhadas, de altíssima qualidade, e a análise de Stefan Fischer é bastante acessível, apesar do tom às vezes seco, próprio da "academia". As discussões do autor sobre o possível conteúdo simbólico da obra são bastante interessantes também. Esse é o tipo de livro para se dar de presente a pessoas especiais, que sejam capazes de admirar um gênio tão precoce da pintura como Hieronymus Bosch. Caso você não queira pagar o custo da edição maior e mais cara, com reproduções adicionais, melhor custo-benefício para um livro como este você não irá encontrar.

What a fantastic book on Bosch! Large prints, wonderful thick paper. Great close ups of parts of his great works you are unlikely to see this close at a museum. Went to see the collection at Prado over the summer. Wonderful! The text is interesting and informative. This is a lovely book if you enjoy Bosch and you will appreciate it even it you aren't a fan. Great for the price to.

Es handelt sich um eine verkleinerte Version der erheblich teureren Originalausgabe. Die Reproduktionen sind genau so gut. Genial sind die vielen stark vergrößerten Bildausschnitte, auf denen man auch Einzelheiten erkennen kann. Auf diese Weise bekommt man einen ganz anderen Eindruck von der Erzählkraft der Werke dieses Malers (und/oder seiner Schule). Der Text ist informativ, doch gibt es neuere, kritischere Werke. Der Schwerpunkt liegt eindeutig auf den Bildreproduktionen.
