Hieronymus Bosch Statue

  Markt     more than a year ago
Painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450 - 1516) is the most famous person to have ever lived in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, with perhaps the exception of football star Ruud van Nistelrooy. Since 1930 the city has honoured its internationally renowned son with a beautiful bronze statue, right in the city centre, and over the past century the artist has been able to gaze upon the square. The statue, which is several metres high, stands on a beautiful stone pedestal right in front of the house where he spend his childhood: De Kleine Winst. Sculptor August Falise created the statue in 1929, based on a drawing which historians believe depicts the real Hieronymus Bosch.
