Hieronymus

Alexandria, drawn from Massimo Listri’s book “Cabinet of Curiosities” and Hieronymus Bosch, was the only location not created as a life-sized set.

He found one answer in the work of Samuel Bak, a painter and Holocaust survivor whose work draws on artists like Salvador Dalí and Hieronymus Bosch in an attempt to convey the atrocity’s evil emptiness.

He cited the early Renaissance Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch as someone who might not seem super relatable.

Inside were everything from paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, Egon Schiele, Francis Bacon and John Singer Sargent; drawings of medical surgeries; and grotesque blob fish.

It was a lurid scene reminiscent of Auschwitz or a Hieronymus Bosch rendering of hell.
