- Title
BOSCHIAN BRUEGEL, BRUEGELIAN BOSCH: HIERONYMUS COCK'S PRODUCTION OF "BOSCH" PRINTS.
- Authors
Barrett, Kerry
- Abstract
In 1557 the Antwerp publisher Hieronymus Cock published the print Big Fish Eat Little Fish. Although the print was designed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, it was credited to the invention of Hieronymus Bosch. This essay argues that the style and subject matter of Cock's "Bosch" prints changed around the time Big Fish Eat Little Fish was published. The "Bosch" prints shifted from featuring large-scale hellscapes readily associated with Bosch to smaller-scaled scenes of folly more often associated with Bruegel. It seems that the success Bruegel enjoyed in creating Boschian imagery under his own name effectively altered the imagery Cock published as by "Bosch".
