In 2016, the Noordbrabants Museum in the Dutch city of Den Bosch held a remarkable exhibition devoted to the work of Hieronymus Bosch, a medieval artist who created some of the strangest, most nightmarish paintings of all time, most notably the Garden of Earthly Delights. In preparation for the exhibition, a team of Dutch art historians crisscrossed the globe to unravel the secrets of his art. They used special infrared cameras to examine the sketches beneath the paint, in the hope of discovering more about the artist’s intentions. In this mystery story they try to establish which of the paintings can be attributed to Bosch himself, and which are the work of others. The experts shuttle between Den Bosch, Madrid and Venice, cutting their way through the art world’s tangle of red tape, in a battle against the obstacles of countless egos and conflicting interests.
