Follower of Hieronymus Bosch

Dorotheum Old Master Paintings Specialist Damian Brenninkmeyer explains why the present work by an unknown follower of Hieronymus Bosch bears all the hallmarks of this celebrated artist, who died 500 years ago in 1516. This depiction of hell bears a number of resemblances to the right section of Bosch's well-known triptych “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (circa 1500), which is now housed in the Prado Museum, Madrid.
The work was one of the highlights of the old master paintings sale at Dorotheum on 18th October 2016.
