The Temptation of Saint Anthony
techniek: Oil on Oak, 38.6 x 25.1 cm
Every now and again this painting crops up in Bosch literature, almost always as the work of one of Bosch’s followers. At first sight, the composition is an exception to the oeuvre, with the large figure of Anthony dominating the top half of the image. The coloration also appears odd - reason enough, it might seem, not to accept this work as a Bosch original. Closer inspection of the small panel, however, reveals that it used to be part of a larger work and is in poor condition. Along with considerable discoloration (of the greens and blues, in particular), the work suffers from several relatively inferior instances of overpainting and restoration that limit its legibility. After minute examination, the BRCP attributes this panel to Bosch after all, due both to the presence of Bosch’s handwriting and to comparisons with his other paintings. This work is most closely related to the Hermit Saints Triptych (Cat. 2) in Venice. |  |
