Hieronymus Bosch: Visions and Nightmares

 By Nils Büttner

This book was not an easy read. It requires more concentration than I afforded it. I believe it is divided into chapters in a way that makes sense, and there are some enlightening descriptions of some of the paintings (and color reproductions of them are included, sometimes with enlarged details). But it often feels too scholarly for a lay reader. I did enjoy the artwork and especially seeing the sketches Bosch made (see below). [non-fiction, 208pp. including references and index]
