Hieronymus Bosch

About Hieronymus Bosch

Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450–1516) was a highly imaginative Early Netherlandish painter, renowned for his fantastical and detailed religious allegories, such as *The Garden of Earthly Delights*. His unique vision, which often depicted the terrors of Hell and moral chaos using complex symbolism, earned him a significant position in art history, ranking him #564 in overall historical importance according to the Pantheon project’s Historical Popularity Index.

Despite his high historical rank, Bosch commands only 627K annualized Wikipedia pageviews in 2025. This level of modern internet attention places his visibility in an approximate 1x match to his historical importance, suggesting a relatively stable, if niche, level of digital recognition. For context, this is considerably less attention than medieval contemporary William the Conqueror, who garners 3.0M views despite a lower importance rank of #934.

However, his interest online is not entirely stagnant; the Q1 versus Q3 momentum data shows a positive 5% increase in interest over the year, counterbalancing a slight -2.3% year-over-year decline.
