I have discovered that I have not paid enough attention to the artist Hieronymus Bosch. He came up in my War and Peace book club today.
Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450 – 9 August 1516) was a Dutch painter. He is one of the most notable representatives of the Early Netherlandish painting school. His work, generally oil on oak wood, mainly contains fantastic illustrations of religious concepts and narratives. Within his lifetime, his work was collected in the Netherlands, Austria, and Spain, and widely copied, especially his macabre and nightmarish depictions of hell.
Well, those aren't topics I'm drawn to, but I still appreciate masterpieces and talented artists.
It seems I missed an opportunity: to see his work The Garden of Earthly Delights at the Prado in Madrid.

Just making a note here, to remind myself to learn more about him and his work.
