 Hieronymus Bosch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bosch used images of demons, half-human animals and machines to evoke fear and confusion and to portray the evil of man. The works contain complex, highly original, imaginative, and dense use of symbolic figures and iconography, some of which was obscure even in his own time.
He signed some of his paintings with Bosch (pronounced as Boss in Dutch), derived from his birthplace 's-Hertogenbosch, a flourishing city in the fifteenth century.
Bosch never dated his paintings and may have signed only some of them (other signatures are certainly not his).

 The Washington College Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Bosch may not have been aware of the specific details of van Eyck's perspective techniques, but the similarities between van Eyck's use of linear perspective and that seen in Death of the Miser are clear.
Bosch's solution is to minimize his use of the conventions of linear perspective, effectively tilting the "horizontal" ground of the picture towards the viewer, reducing the overlapping of figures and allowing for more detail.
Bosch's minimization of linear perspective is a crucial part of his creation of a world landscape, which in turn is crucial in indicating the universal scale of the drama the triptych depicts.

To say that Bosch used the materials and forms available to him in the fifteenth century is in no way to dilute the power of his images or his vision.

Harry Bosch, to take one example, is the name of a Los Angeles detective in a popular murder/mystery series written by Michael Connelly (Harry’s real name is Hieronymous, but he goes by Harry as a concession to West Coast limitations).
This Bosch is dark and haunted, like his 15th-century namesake, and he brings that darkness into the appropriately dark world of contemporary life and death in California.
Still, it’s the Hieronymous Bosch of the 15th century who is the most famous member of the clan, and for good reason.
