5.0 out of 5 stars Bosing does a reasonably good job of making sense of a rather enigmatic figure
Beware, Mr. Taschen aims to hook the masses on art. If you are allegric, or have an embedded resistance to art, or feel it's a superfluous pursuit, you probably will be strong enogh to resist this perpetual campaign. If not, you might succumb, especially because the 2.0 -- newly revised -- Basic Art series, now in hardcover, is irresistible. The art direction, paper stock, and content are superb. Granted, no subject worth its weight in salt can be adequately covered in less than a 100 pgs., but, accepting that limittion, these are exceptional works.That's especially true for Bosch, since his output -- art that's been certifiably acknowledged -- is relatively limited. Bosing does a reasonably good job of making sense of a rather enigmatic figure. Were the orgies prescriptive or antinomian exercises? The books sets the record straight."The Last Judgement" -- accepted by most but not all scholars as being authentically Bosch -- is the pictorial sine qua non of the grand deterent, Hell, first presented in Plato's "Republic." Oh, how life was simpler when the masses were convinced of acting decently because of the fear of hell!If you long for the days when the amygdala cringed because of the threat of eternal damnation, then this is your artist. Here are the iconographic records of a transitional stage between Middle-Age Oppression and Renaissance liberation. Enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars While the writing is terrific, the prints are tiny -- difficult to examine ...
Not what I've come to expect with the Taschen books. While the writing is terrific, the prints are tiny -- difficult to examine or enjoy. Usually Taschen prints consume the page and are gorgeous. Book arrived new.
Dirty cover
Cover is dirty, looks like used
uninspiring
Bosch is a great painter but this book was put together poorly, in a very uninspiring manner. The reproductions are bearable, but the choice of works is poor. Even his greatest masterpiece about the earthly desires is not enjoyable since the middle of the picture is right where the spine of the book is. There are no close ups, many significant works were left out and so on. The only positive thing about it is the text. Taschen is a great publisher, don't get me wrong, a have plenty of Basic Art Series books, they are all great, but this one simply doesn't make me want to return to it, there is nothing about it that would repeatedly attract my attention. So it doesn't do justice to this magnificent artist at all. There is another Bosch book by Taschen, The Complete Works. Now that one might be a good catch, so go for it, forget about this one, it is not worth the money.
Arnaque
Tout petit livre attention gros arnaque !!!!!! J'ai demandé le remboursementJe pensais avoir le grand livre relié'vue chez Taschen à la boutique.
