Hieronymus Bosch: Complete Works

For such an exquisite piece of work, this price is a bargain. A great artist, awesome book, & Taschen do exemplary work. i have their Manly P Hall baby sumo 1st edition of Secrets from all ages, & its what you would expect from Taschen, just a different level. I also highly recommend their 2016 XL 1st edition of William Blake's work on Dante's Inferno, another classic lol. This company is breaking my bank lol, but im happy.

This book is truly magnificent! It is huge, beautifully packaged; as someone said, there are not many pages, but the paper is very heavy and thick. The reproductions are beautiful, and the size means that details are much easier to see. The text is very informative. There are other many more detailed reviews for this book, so there is not much more to be said, other than to recommend it highly. Don't be daunted by the price - I don't know many books of this size and quality at this price! Well done Taschen.

This is a very weighty tome with fold outs and the smaller details of these incredible paintings are reproduced in large size. The accompanying text is lucid and extensive. A very lavish book and well worth the price. Worth saving up for!

Not only the breathtaking images will blow your mind away, but the precisely written information will top up your knowledge. Definitely worth the money!!!!

This is an awesome volume with Bosch's oeuvre. There exist plenty of photos for various paintings and each one is accompanied with descriptions and analysis. However some texts are rather short (for instance the description for "The Temptation of St. Anthony" and "The Last Judgement" could be lengthier) - the number of blank pages gives the impression that the author didn't know what else to write. Additional details of the paintings and a lengthier analysis would make this volume even better.

Mouse, fish and bird like humans who have wings.

I don't think I can find enough words to praise this absolute marvellous book. If you are a fan of the wonderful Hieromymus Bosch, this is the way to go. You will be mind blown!

As with every book I have bought from this publisher, the quality is staggering. To understand Bosch, you need detail in the reproductions and that is where this volume scores. Even seeing the works in the flesh, gallery security means you will never be able to get as close to the art-works, as you can in this book. If you are serious about Bosch – it’s a must.

Al meu entendre, es tracta d'un llibre excel·lent amb unes reproduccions no només acurades sinó també adequades als textos explicatius.Les opinions d'experts acaben de complerar l'entorn d'aquest excel·lent pintor ,sociòleg, filòsof de fina ironia que és en Jeronimus Bosch.

I've purchased my share of Taschen books over the years so I was concerned that this wouldn't be up to the standards of other art book publishers. Once I read a few of the reviews here at Amazon I felt a little better so I placed my order. The other reviews are correct: this is an amazing book. Starting with the outside... its double boxed for protection (mine was shipped in yet another box, something Amazon hasn't been so great about in recent years). The inside printed box, which is basically the same as the cover, is a carrying case making it look almost like a board game. I wouldn't carry it around with the handle for any length of time but its a nice touch and pretty much guarantees that the book inside is well protected. The dust jacket is a nice, thick, textured piece with excellent gold lettering. The printing is excellent The book itself is printed in Italy (a good sign, at least in my opinion) and is semi-gloss which works well. The various fold out panels are well done. I'm not typically wild about fold out inserts but for Bosch is really is important to see the work in the largest size possible. Overall the book is huge (I forget the term, something like super folio?) so its not something you're going to casually leaf through on your lap. It needs a table but view really is worth this climb in this case. This large format is exactly correct for the detail presented in Bosch paintings. For someone who just enjoys great graphics publishing or simply plain gorgeous books I think this is a must purchase item, especially at $100+ (Amazon's current price). I've purchased comparable quality books for more money so this, to me, is good deal. I've only seen one or two Bosch paintings in person but its clear that you need to take the whole painting into view and you also need the close-up view for the details. With a lot of artists too many close-up views can be annoying if you're not someone into technique. In this case the detailed views are 100% required. This book delivers on all fronts. Most importantly I'm thrilled that a book of this quality and a book this inventive can still find a market these days. It's a venture that I'm happy to support. Excellent job Taschen - this makes up for the many poorly printed volumes I've purchased from you over the years.

Simplesmente uma obra de arte. Imagens belíssimas, em tamanho aumentado. A caixa já é linda em relevo igual da capa do livro. Na verdade a capa do livro é preta, com uma proteção em cores. Textos densos condizentes com as imagens. O que me incomoda as vezes é um pouco as folhas brancas entre as impressões comum da Taschen. Mas a obra é maravilhosa.

Regalo per mia moglie appassionata d’arte. Le piace tanto

Excellent quality
