06 Hieronymus Garden

The Story

Hieronymus Garden is Mark van den Heuvel's photographic response to one of the most visionary painters in art history: Hieronymus Bosch. Born and raised in 's-Hertogenbosch — the same city that shaped Bosch himself — Van den Heuvel brings this dialogue between centuries to life through the lens of his camera. The series centres on a single female figure, unclothed and unguarded, placed within a lush, otherworldly green environment that echoes the dreamlike wilderness of Bosch's painted gardens. There are no masks here, no armour. Only the human form, naked in a world that is hauntingly beautiful and quietly unsettling — as all good gardens are. Both works from Hieronymus Garden have been acquired by the Huis van Jeroen Bosch in 's-Hertogenbosch, the institution dedicated to the legacy of the master himself. It is a fitting home for work that dares to carry that legacy forward — five centuries later, in a different medium, with the same restless imagination.
