From the museum's website, 19 October 2015: With an expected 20 paintings (panels and triptychs) and 19 drawings on display, ‘Visions of Genius' will be the largest retrospective of the work of Hieronymus Bosch (circa 1450 - 1516) ever. The exhibition will be an unparalleled homage to the most important medieval artist Holland has produced: never before have so many works by this ‘master of devilish perfection' been brought together in a single exhibition. For one time only, the majority of his oeuvre will be returning to 's Hertogenbosch, the city where he was born as Jheronimus van Aken, where he painted his masterpieces and from which his artistic name of Bosch is derived. The exhibition will be the highlight of the Jheronimus Bosch 500 event year that will be celebrated in 2016 on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the artist's death. / The final report booklet is fascinating as well and includes all sorts of facts and figures about the exhibition; with articles from major world media, comments by attendees, social media posts, photos of museum goers enjoying the exhibit, and more. The complete package from this once-in-a-lifetime exhibit! (Inventory #: 160668)
