Infernal Landscape
techniek: Pen and Ink on Paper, 25.9 x 19.7 cm
The BRCP will be the first to present this drawing-a landscape of hell with fabulous monsters and freaks-as a work by Bosch himself. The artwork is an extremely important addition to the corpus of drawings, due both to its size and the rich nature of the image. It is relatively unknown: auctioned in 2003, and since then held in a private collection. The quality of the details, such as the helmeted figure seated on a barrel with legs (which itself harbors a human figure), is excellent. The drawing provides a fascinating insight into the very associative, additive manner in which Bosch composed images. He used exactly the same method for the Hell panel in the Garden of Earthly Delights (Cat. 21). |  |
