To commemorate the 500th anniversary of artist Heironymus Bosch's death (1450-1516), a small Dutch museum in the city of his birth is mounting a major exhibition of his famously wild and weird work. Noordbrabants museum in  ’s-Hertogenbosch will host the anticipated show which pulls together 20 of 25 surviving panels, and 19 of 25 drawings in existence, by the Dutch artist dubbed centuries ago as the  'devil's painter.'

A research and conservation effort aided by the Getty Foundation helped the small museum pull off major loans from the world's top museums, including the National Gallery of Art (DC), the Louvre, Prado, the Met and more. (Missing is the Prado's Garden of Earthly Delights which will not travel for the show.)

The exhibition will be on view February 13, 2016 -  May 8, 2016, following a documentary released this November showcasing new research.

A two-volume publication will accompany the exhibition. Perhaps the pages will shed more light on why Bosch created such bizarre and intruiging scenes of cavorting demons, saints and angels, hybrid monster-chickens, drunken priests, and all manner of whackiness.
