SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Hieronymus Bosch worked chiefly in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the town from which he took his name and where he died in 1516. His panel paintings combine religious narratives with fantastic symbols and sometimes disturbing observations of human behaviour. The Garden of Earthly Delights in the Prado is a triptych painted in oil on oak, dated by the museum to 1490–1500. Its central panel presents a deceptive paradise dominated by sensual pleasures.
In the Louvre’s Ship of Fools, drinkers and gluttons sail without a destination. This painting originally formed part of a triptych wing, subsequently separated and cut down. Christ Mocked in the National Gallery instead concentrates the action around five closely grouped figures. Christ’s calm outward gaze contrasts with the threatening gestures of the four men surrounding him.
This profile brings together identity references for Hieronymus Bosch and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
