Thank you for spending this time with me. In the upcoming videos, I plan to explore the works of Van Gogh, Cézanne, Renoir, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and others. Perhaps, just like in this video, we'll try to draw something together.

When it comes to inventing and drawing a fantastical creature, unfortunately, one's own imagination may sometimes fall short, requiring external assistance and references for inspiration. Undoubtedly, the creative work of Hieronymus Bosch, an unparalleled master and incredibly intriguing artist of the Northern Renaissance, can be indispensable in this regard. He brought to life in his paintings an immense number of the most incredible beings. He was a true creator of nightmares, a person with an extraordinary imagination. So, before starting work on another monstrous creation (this time I chose the Manticore), I turned to Bosch's work as a source of inspiration. Suddenly, I found myself awakened only after a considerable amount of time – Bosch's incredible world simply absorbs, transports to a parallel reality, both frightening and fascinating. No wonder debates have been raging for over 500 years – where did the artist draw his incredible ideas from? What is encrypted in the grotesque painted objects, what secrets do the symbols and phantasmagorical characters of his canvases hold? And was he mentally healthy at all?
Let's try to delve into this question together. Moreover, as we study Bosch's work, quite intriguing details come to light, which I will share during the narration. Therefore, the video is divided into two stages: firstly, we will admire one of his most famous masterpieces, exploring it in close detail, and in the second part of the video, we will showcase the actual process of creating the Manticore, whose stylistic inspiration will be drawn from Bosch's works. Throughout the process, I will show which characters and elements influenced the painting, and we will also analyze some color and compositional decisions.
So, we travel 500 years back and a hundred kilometers southeast of Vermeer's Delft, to the hometown of Hieronymus Bosch - 's-Hertogenbosch. Bosch's life, like that of his Delft colleague, is shrouded in mystery. Bosch left behind no diaries, letters, or documents. Additionally, he never dated his works, so we do not know exactly when he painted them and how old he was when he completed them. Hieronymus Bosch is a pseudonym; the artist's real name is Hieronymus Antonissen van Aken. It is believed that he was born around 1450 in the northern part of the Netherlands, in one of the cities of the Duchy of Brabant - 's-Hertogenbosch. Hieronymus belonged to the well-known artistic dynasty of van Akens, originating from the German city of Aachen. In 1486, his name is mentioned in the account book of the "Brotherhood of the Virgin," whose members adhered to the cult of the Virgin Mary, and with which Bosch was associated throughout his life.
There are only about 30 works attributed to Bosch's name, but only 9 of them are unequivocally recognized as personally created by him. Moreover, experts confidently attribute about 20 more canvases to Bosch's brush. Many of the artist's works were lost when in 1629 the troops of Prince Frederick Henry of Nassau besieged and almost completely destroyed 's-Hertogenbosch.
