A new Bosch show seems too soon after the 500th anniversary hoopla in 2016. Still, looking at the strange work of this star of the northern Renaissance is no chore. The writer struggles (unsuccessfully) to decode the demonic imagery. Why did Bosch provide so few clues about “the order of importance of what is seen”? Doesn’t this mirror modern life where “we are not always sure that we are always in the front when something is happening?” Morgan Meis’s Easel essay on Bosch is here.
