Hiëronymus Bosch: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Explications of Bosch’s paintings include D. Bax, Hieronymus Bosch: His Picture-Writing Deciphered (1979; originally published in Dutch, 1949), a pioneering study; Wilhelm Fraenger, Hieronymus Bosch (1983; originally published in German), a controversial viewpoint; Carl Linfert, Bosch, rev. ed. (1989); Laurinda S. Dixon, Bosch (2003) . Walter S. Gibson, Hieronymus Bosch: An Annotated Bibliography (1983), includes a short critical introduction. Lynda Harris, The Secret Heresy of Hieronymus Bosch, 2nd ed. (2002), argues that Bosch’s symbolism reveals his heretical Cathari faith. Jos Koldeweij, Paul Vandenbroeck, and Bernard Vermet, Hieronymus Bosch: The Complete Paintings and Drawings (2001), is an exhibition catalog; and Jos Koldeweij and Bernard Vermet (eds.), Hieronymus Bosch: New Insights into His Life and Work (2001), was prompted by an exhibition at the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.
