• For Your Consideration:
• A First Edition in HARDCOVER of:
• “HIERONYMUS BOSCH:
The Complete Paintings & Drawings”
(Harry M. Abrams, 2001) (Hardcover, First Edition)
• FEATURING: 282 ILLUSTRATIONS, Including 229 Plates in FULL COLOR
• “This luxurious volume, published to coincide with a major exhibition in BOSCH’s native Netherlands, examines his art in the context of his times. Reproducing every BOSCH painting and drawing in superb full color, and including BOSCH’s triptychs (many shown open & closed), this book finally penetrates the mystery that has always surrounded this artist.
“JOS KOLDEWEIJ sketches a lively picture of urban culture in the late-medieval city of ’s-Hertogenbosch, where the artist lived his entire life.
“PAUL VANDENBROECK explores BOSCH’s social attitudes: the painter offered an unprecedented critique of society—money and property, sin and pleasure….
“BERARD VERMET draws on the latest research to offer a new chronology for BOSCH’s work.
“Together these scholars and BOSCH’s brilliant art itself demonstrate that BOSCH was not only a highly inventive and technically brilliant painter, but that his beliefs and imagery were in keeping with many of the prevailing attitudes of his day.
“HIERONYMUS BOSCH: THE COMPLETE PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS is essential for anyone interested in the most fully rounded picture ever offered of the life and work of one of the world’s most enigmatic artists.”
—THE PUBLISHER
• TEXT: JOS KOLDEWEIJ | PAUL VANDNBROECHK | BERNARD VERMET
• “Fifteenth-century Dutch painter BOSCH is known for complex panels featuring fantastic portrayals of demons and fools. This volume, published to accompany a recent exhibition in Rotterdam, includes all of the paintings attributed to Bosch by current scholarly consensus, as well as all surviving drawings linked to BOSCH and his workshop. An overview and one or two details from each painting are reproduced, along with a generous selection of related artwork by contemporaries and artists who have been influenced by Bosch including SALVADOR DALI, ROBERT GOBER, BILL VIOLA, and others.”
—LIBRARY JOURNAL
• “BOSCH’s panoramic, otherworldly paintings writhe with legions of strange creatures doing strange things, dense and troubling scenes that require the sort of sharp-focus plates and enlargements this scholarly but crisply written and enlightening monograph, now the BOSCH book, has in abundance…. Fascinated by nature, eroticism, ‘wickedness and punishment,’ BOSCH, the first artist in his milieu to address social issues, has profoundly influenced all who followed.”

How We
GRADECONDITION
***********
DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.
FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized.
Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw.
It is also possible that we may miss some perfections!
Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.
GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability):
VERY FINE or LIKE NEW
FINE (or EXCELLENT)
NEAR FINE (or NF)
VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+)
VERY GOOD (or VG)
GOOD
FAIR
ACCEPTABLE
POOR
“POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”
RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil!
(*Get it?)
POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)
