Ghent

Museum Voor Schone Kunsten



A smaller museum of primarily Flemish paintings. My memory produces only two paintings attributed to Bosch – the overload! - The first, although not dendro-dated, is certainly not by him, the second he painted in the year of his father's death - Jerome was, of course, Bosch's name's saint. - The museum has since been renovated (2003), and its holdings may have been altered.



Attributed to Bosch, Christ Carrying the Cross and Veronica, 1535

It is now generally assumed that his panel was painted in 1530-35, years after Bosch's death. By whom has not been decided,
perhaps by Quentin Massys?



Bosch, St. Hieronymus in Prayer, 1482

A mortified Jerome van Aaken bemoans his sins of omission towards his dead father.
According to Klein's dendrochronological analysis this panel was painted 1482.
