One of the brightest masters of the early Northern Renaissance, Hieronymus Bosch, in his paintings on the themes of folk sayings, proverbs and parables (“The Temptation of St. Anthony”, National Museum of Ancient Art, Lisbon; triptychs “Garden of Delights”, “Adoration of the Magi” - all in the museum Prado; "Ship of Fools", Louvre Museum) combined dark mysticism, sophisticated medieval fantasy and grotesque demonic images generated by boundless imagination with folklore satirical and moralizing tendencies, with realistic innovations unusual for the art of his era.
