The pictures of Hieronymus Bosch originated in the time of the late Middle Ages on the threshold of modern times by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (* 1450, † 1516). The attribution of the works to him is partly uncertain and controversial. The provenance of many pictures is very sketchy. The paintings - all on wooden panels - were received many times, their motifs interpreted differently.
