Rotterdam

Museum Boymans and van Beuningen

Selections from the Permanent Collection

The Hieronymus Bosch 2001 Exhibition occupied most of the space and included all Bosch paintings in the possession of the museum. For this reason only a few memorable paintings are shown here. i include the three most important Bosch paintings.

Hubert van Eyck, Three Marys at Christ's Grave, 1425-35?

Bosch, The Prodigal Son or The Pedlar, 1494

Bosch, Christopheros, 1504

Copy after Bosch, The Wedding at Canaa, 1562

Bosch, Sicut Erat in Tempore Noe or Hell and the Flood, 1514

These four wings of a large poliptych are Bosch's last major work, painted two years before his death. It is a key-work for the understanding of his life. I discuss this “reading” in a collection of essays on the Bosch Exibition 2001 at the Boymans.

Pieter Breugel the Elder, The “Little” Tower of Babel, 1563

Rembrandt, Titus, 1655
