The Late Great Hieronymus Bosch

Neville

The Late Great Hieronymus Bosch

 

Tis sad, today so little is known

about the once great

but incestuous, Hieronymus Bosch ..

Who waved his brush

between 1450 and 1516 like no other ..

And tho’ he never took a lover

left a wife, had two sisters and a brother ..

    Yes, did you meet H. Bosch in person, as Goldfinch and I did, being very old?! He was gonna paint KP, and did a picture of a trout! lol. Well, he did scenes of Hell too, so......

      Thanks for drawing attention to my little scribble Steven .. all Good Things, Neville

        Yes Orchi and I met him but Orchi spoiled it all by putting water in his paint at one time so some of his artwork did not get seen. LOL

            I've never heard of him, but now I feel as though I really missed out on something special. But...I didn't miss out on this scribble of yours N. I wish Hieronymus Bosch had seen this. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

              .. Ha, I'm bloomin glad he didn't .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

              So the CV of Hieronymus is free public knowledge, Neville, images of his works can be found all over, the originals on your travels....but the, ah... more intimate...er... details of ...um... his life....just where.....? Never minded giving hell a run for it's money.....

              • Neville



                .. Ha .. I should think he has probably been there, done it and has been claiming royalties for yonks πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                That’s a name that eschews character. And what I like most is that we both named our dog Coltrane.

                  smiles, bows and exits stage .. left off centre .. I don't suppose your dogs a collie or a great-trane by any chance .. mines a border terriorist called Brulee .. Neville

                    • Neville



                      What can a bloke say to that except thanks .. thank you Teddy .. Neville 🌹

                    • Thomas W Case

                      Excellent. He did some real dark stuff.

                      • Neville



                        Didn't he just .. He made Edvard Munch's Scream feel like a fairy tale .. Cheers pal .. Neville

                      • Bella Shepard

                        Once again, you introduce me to something new, so I had to google H.B. to learn about him and his art. He almost seems a renaissance surrealist in ways. Thank you my friend for a glimpse into this extraordinary man, from an extraordinary poet.

                        • Neville



                          well two outa three aint bad .. and you got him in one Bella .. he was way ahead of his time wasn't he .. but painted what many had cluttering their collective consciences .. many thanks now on their way .. Neville

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Like so many great artists that are around many are never thought of, I love art of all types and have seen some wonderful artwork by artists nobody knows.

                            Do you mean just you and their mothers, or am I reading you wrong .. ta tho' regardless .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                            A homage to a great painter who was one of my favorites in my teen years. I had several large prints of his that I had framed. A painter of rather dark subjects that were surrealistic in many ways. Wonderful write.

                            • Neville



                              what a bloomin coincidence .. me too & thank you both kindly and true .. Neville
