Exhibition on Screen | The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch – Visions of Genius at the Het
Noordbrabants Museum (13 February - 8 May 2016) was the
largest ever Bosch retrospective, bringing 36 of his 44
surviving works together in Den Bosch. The exhibition took
a radical approach, offering research and conservation
expertise in exchange for loans from the world’s best
museums. Over 420,000 people flocked to the exhibition to
marvel at Bosch’s curious creations, with opening hours
extended to 1am to accommodate the phenomenal demand.

Accompanied by expert insights from the exhibition’s curators
and leading cultural critics, the film delves into the life of the
visionary artist to explore the inspiration behind his strange
and haunting works. Contributors include maverick filmmaker
and artist Peter Greenaway, The Times’ Chief Art Critic
Rachel Campbell-Johnston, and Director of the Het
Noordbrabants Museum Dr. Charles de Mooij.

The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch allows audiences to
appreciate the detail of Bosch’s paintings like never
before, offering close-up views of the curiosities hidden within
his brimming canvases, from cannibalistic clergymen to three-
headed birds.
