But why did this artist create such disturbing paintings? Are they the product of a lively imagination, imbued with symbolic religious meaning? Or are they the products of a troubled mind, afflicted by intense and frightening hallucinations? Let’s investigate the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and get a glimpse at the artist behind his strange and unsettling work.
I really enjoyed making this video and learnt lots during the making of it. I hope you all enjoyed it too.

Weirdest thing about Bosch's paintings to me when I first came across them was how anachronistic they looked, they seemed like something out of 20th Century Surrealism, not from when Europe was just getting out of the Middle Ages.
-
The fact that that small music piece is actually something that can be played and not just random notes is unbelievable the amount of detail
-
This guy was so far ahead of his time it’s astonishing. He was surrealism hundreds of years ahead.
-
The fact that he put music into his art is incredible.
-
It's weird how modern a lot of his paintings look. Ancient surrealism is so cool and very humanizing. It's a way to see that these people had imaginations too.
-
Crazy part is, 600-700 years later, his work looks fresh like it could have been done by a modern artist. The artist/painters of the past were on another level
-
I do wonder why Hieronymus Bosch doesn't get as much recognition as the other painters. Absolutely revolutionary
-
I've always thought of his work as satire and sarcasm. I loved it since the first time I laid eyes on The Garden. I spent hours as a child trying to decipher each thing and what he was trying to say. I will forever be enchanted and horrified.
-
I'd Imagine seeing his paintings in the flesh back then would have been a mind-blowing experience for most people -who would never have seen such vivid, imaginative, scary depictions before!
-
Wouldn’t call these paintings disturbing. I’d personally call them brilliant. The detail is outstanding.
-
To me, he’s one of the most talented artists to ever live. I mean, I could easily see Dali, Picasso, or Vladimir Kush sliding his paintings into their own works, and yet Bosch lived in the Early Renaissance!!! The literal definition of “ahead of his time”, what a talent🤩
-
Can't imagine this being work from 600 years ago, so extremely modern.
-
I live in bosch his birthplace, ‘s-Hertogenbosch. A few years ago we celebrated Bosch for an entire year by putting on great displays of his work, but we also put statues of his creatures through the entire town. If you love his work you should come visit our city!
-
Bosch has always fascinated me. His paintings at the macro level look modern, they remind me of album covers. Looking closely at details and it looks 15th century
-
This dude makes my favorite paintings, if I can stare at it for hours and still not see everything is a testament to the amount of detail he felt he needed to express.
-
I was in the Prado museum two days ago and despite all the great other painters like Velasquez, Goya, El Greco and Rubens, the hall with the works of Bosch was my highlight of the museum. Especially the Garden of Earthly Delight. There is so much to explore there!
-
The thing about his paintings is they're so insanely detailed you can get lost in them--every part of it you look at there's always more detail in the background, hints of yet more vistas, infinitely receding. They're the sort you could get sucked into--it feels like there's an actual world behind the canvas. It actually gave me an idea for a story.
-
I always thought it would be funny to make a "where is Waldo" thing out of Bosch's paintings. Quite disturbing, but also fun and you really want to find him as soon as possible
-
I come to this video again and again, I've never heard of Bosch before you upload this video in 2021. I'm so grateful of having found your channel, because of all the interesting things you upload. You woke up an interest in me of learning more about our past.

Love how this video just so casually explained a potential explanation for one of the most famous cases of mass hysteria. This channel is an absolute trip and every video is fascinating
