With almost ninety works – including ten autograph panels, representing almost half of the Netherlandish master’s painting oeuvre – Between Hell and Paradise The Enigmatic World of Hieronymus Bosch is the largest ever presentation of the master’s works and art in Central Europe. It showcases the themes this extraordinary painter returned to again and again over the course of his life: the choice between virtue and vice, questions of faith and truth, the experience and harnessing of desire, and the spiritual dimension of human existence. Alongside autograph paintings and drawings, the exhibition displays works that were precursors to Bosch’s oeuvre.
