The Tree Man
Hieronymous Bosch (Netherlandish, c. 1450–1516) · c. 1560–1600, first edition printed c. 1715
At the bottom of the composition Bosch portrays a painter, an astronomer, and an Aesopian figure (or fableist), practitioners who use illusion to convey the world’s truths, and might be interpreted as Bosch himself.
