The painter of The Garden of Earthly Delights belongs to which artist?

• A. Bosch
• B. Vermeer
• C. Picasso
• D. Hieronymus Bosch

Answer: (D)

The painting in question is a famous triptych from the Northern Renaissance, and its distinctive, fantastical imagery and moral undercurrents are hallmarks of Hieronymus Bosch. The artist’s full name is the standard attribution for this work, so recognizing him as the painter—the one who created The Garden of Earthly Delights—fits the historical and stylistic context. Vermeer is a later Dutch master known for intimate, light-filled scenes; Picasso is a 20th-century artist associated with Cubism and modern experimentation. While the surname Bosch is related, the widely accepted attribution uses the full name Hieronymus Bosch, making him the correct artist.
