• Delicious demons. Deciphering allegories in the complex, fantastical works of Hieronymous. In the midst of the realist-leaning artistic climate of the Late Gothic and Early Renaissance, Dutch painter Hieronymus (c. 1450-1516) was more than an anomaly. B's paintings are populated with grotesque scenes of fantastical creatues succumbing to all manner of human desire, fantasy, and angst. One of his greatest inventions was to take the figural and scenic representations known as drolleries, which use the monstrous and the grotesque to illustrate sin and evil, and to transfer them from the marginalia of illuminated manuscripts into large-format panel paintings. Alongside traditional hybrids of man and beast, such as centaurs, and mythological creatures such as unicorns, devils, dragons, and griffins, we also encounter countless mixed creatures freely invented by the artist. Many subsidiary scenes illustrate proverbs and figures of speech in common use in B's day. In his Temptation of St Anthony triptych, for example, the artist shows a messenger devil wearing ice skates, evoking the popular expression that the world was `skating on ice`-meaning it had gone astray.
  In his pictorial translation of proverbs, in particular, B  was very much an innovator. B  - whose real name was Jheronimus van Aken - was widely copied and imitated: the number of surviving works by B 's followers exceeds the master's own production by more than tenfold. Today only 20 paintings and eight drawings are confidently assigned to B's oeuvre. He continues to be seen as a visionary, a portrayer of dreams and nightmares, and the painter par excellence of hell and its demons. In this exhaustive book, published in view of the upcoming 500th anniversary of B 's death and covering his complete works in huge, splendid reproductions with copious details, art historian and acknowledged B expert Stefan Fischer examines just what it was about B and his painting that proved so immensely influential.
