Hieronymus Bosch is an artist whose aesthetics may seem strange and even comical. He expressed his attitude toward society through eccentric plots, drawing attention from the infernal Middle Ages. His works are full of mysterious images in which the low and the lofty intertwine; vice is exposed, and the ordinary is twisted. Studying Bosch’s art lets you peek into the mind of a medieval person and understand their fears, laughter, contempt, and awe. The audiobook author is Valeria Kosyakova, a specialist in cultural studies and in the art of the Middle Ages.
