of philosophy; and that great kingdom of philosophy was soon 
parcelled out into the wide range of uncommunicating sciences 
and specialties we know today. Intensity of stress on visual 
blueprinting and precision is an explosive force that fragments 
the world of power and knowledge alike. The increasing 
precision and quantity of visual information transformed the 
print into a three-dimensional world of perspective and fixed 
point of view. Hieronymus Bosch, by means of paintings that 
interfused medieval forms in Renaissance space, told what it 
felt like to live straddled between the two worlds of the old and 
the new during this revolution. Simultaneously, Bosch provided 
the older kind of plastic, tactile image but placed it in the 
intense new visual perspective. He gave at once the older 
medieval idea of unique, discontinuous space, superimposed on 
the new idea of uniform, connected space. This he did with 
earnest nightmare intensity.
