Jeroen Bosch, a genius returns home.
30 December 2015To the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of Jheronimus van Aken (Jeroen Bosch), Jos van den Elzen created 5 figurines,
inspired by the wondrous creatures in Bosch’s paintings.
The models are 16 to 20 mm high and are produced with a huge sense for detail; one can distinguish the laces in the skates of the
“Bird with Letter” figurine, or count the thumbs and fingers in the “Flute player”.
Designs are available in silver and yellow gold; they can be worn as a pendant, charm, brooch or lapel pin.
