A Documentary on the art of Hieronymus Bosch - one of the key figures in our study of the roots of Surrealism. The Documentary is broken into six 10 minute sections here - the link should take you to a playlist page where you can choose to "play all".

Note the similarities in use of symbolism, distortion, and story telling that we have seen in the art of the northern renaissance, mannerists and emotionalists combined with the absolute technical depiction of his subjects as "real" seen throughout this era (even when they clearly stream from his imagination/dreams).
