Jheronimus Bosch 500

Boundless. The fantasy of mediaeval painter Jheronimus Bosch (± 1450 - 1516) refused to be constrained by the bounds of reality. in 's‑Hertogenbosch, he painted his world-famous pieces full of freaky monsters, alien nightmares and surrealistic fancy dreams - for clients from all over Europe. 'Temptation' and 'sins' were Bosch's main themes, his views and visions appeared timeless and boundless. Five hundred years ago and still today.
 
Boundless are also the ambitions for the large-scale events around the 500th anniversary of Bosch's death in 2016: Jheronimus Bosch 500. A multiannual, international cultural event with classic and modern elements. A colourful European commemoration with sociocultural, scientific and artistic activities. For connoisseurs and art lovers, scientists and admirers, tourists and -above all - the people of 's‑Hertogenbosch.
 
It all started in 2010. In Jheronimus Bosch's boundless city of birth, where he lived and worked, where he died and was buried: 's‑Hertogenbosch.
