More about the book

The book offers a fresh perspective on the works of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, highlighting the paradoxical relationship between their art. Bosch's fantastical and often grotesque imagery contrasts sharply with Bruegel's realistic portrayals of peasant life, yet both artists explore the theme of everyday existence intertwined with a metaphysical conflict. Koerner examines how Bosch's depictions serve as a warning against the allure of the mundane, while Bruegel reveals the constructed nature of such fears, ultimately suggesting that art itself can embody an adversarial force.
