To Discover - Bosch 

Palazzo Reale pays tribute to the great Flemish genius and his fortune in southern Europe with an unprecedented exhibition project that presents a fascinating thesis: Bosch, according to the curators, represents the emblem of an 'alternative' Renaissance, far from the myth of classicism, the proof of the existence of a plurality of Renaissance, with artistic centers spread throughout Europe. This rich corpus includes some of Bosch's most famous masterpieces and works derived from the Master's subjects - never before presented together in a single exhibition.
