In this general context, individualists were usually extremists who chose to emphasise the weird, the bizarre, or the horrifying. Hugo van der Goes* veered in this direction.

More grotesque and horrifying is the work of Matthias Grunewald (1480 – 1528), whose main surviving work is the altarpiece for a hospital ward at Isenheim, Germany (extant at Musée d’Unterlinden, Colmar, France; Plate 8).’
