RE: The Descent from the Cross by Pieter Coecke van Aelst

in Art Talk3 months ago

Bosch was certainly a bit of a crazy artist. When we look at all his works, we notice that he has many representations where the individuals look nothing like humans but rather devils. The question I ask myself is how he was able to survive to be 66 years old. The Inquisition in the Netherlands began around 1522, 6 years after Bosch's death. Would he have survived this period of terror?

Hahaha must have been :D But that's what makes him so cool!
I dont know his biography so cant answer that. But I am glad he did and was able to leave enough art to survive until now.
