Bosch's hellish fantasy world becomes a graphic novel with Hurricane

Available in bookstores and online is the new graphic novel by Ivan Manuppelli (Milan, 1985), aka Hurricane, dedicated to Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen Anthoniszoon van Aken; s’ Hertogenbosch, 1453 - 1516), a Dutch painter famous for his works characterized by monstrous and fantastic creatures and figures and evocative dream worlds.

Titled Sinfonia Infernale and published by 24 Ore Cultura, the volume is a journey through images in the colorful and surreal universe of Hieronymus Bosch. It is a story in forty-eight large-format colored plates, at the center of which is a mysterious record bought almost by chance by the protagonist, attracted by its eerie cover: a record whose music, as one listens to it, creates very peculiar consequences. Beginning with this episode, the reader is taken into a kaleidoscopic universe, balanced between the fantastic and the grotesque, the fascinating and the repulsive: the Bosch universe, observed and told through Hurricane’s gaze.

The release of the volume is accompanied by the exhibition Sinfonia Infernale - Concerto in Bosch minore, in which all the original plates of the publication will be on display at WOW Spazio e Fumetto in Milan until November 27, 2022.
