About This Item
London: Secker & Warburg. 1982. Quarto Size [approx 24cm x 30.5cm]. Good condition in Good dustjacket. DJ protected in our purpose-made plastic sleeve. The only real issues with the book and dustjacket are a deep nick to the upper spine of the book and a corresponding chip to the DJ. Some age-toning to DJ. Illustrated with colour and black & white plates. 127 pages. Among the masterpieces of the late Middle Ages were Hieronymous Bosch's three major triptychs: The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Temptation of St Anthony, and The Haywain. Detailing the few facts known about Bosch's life, the author enters into the strange and exotic imagery of the paintings, forming his own interpretations of the artist's symbolism in its original context. The paintings are further explained by the retelling f legends and folklore of the period. . 1st Edition. Hardback.
