Accompanies the exhibition From Bosch's Stable: Hieronymous Bosch
and the Adoration of the Magi, at the Noordbrabants Museum from
December 12, 2018 to March 10, 2019. Marks the rare display of the
Adoration of the Magi from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New
York) in the city where Bosch was born. Presents the works in an
accessible way for both art historians and the general public. In
Christian tradition, the feast of the Epiphany marks the revelation
of the divine nature of Jesus to the three kings from the East.
This feast was an extremely popular theme in fine art around the
year 1500. Numerous artists depicted the Adoration of the Magi with
exotic figures, elaborate clothing, and ornate objects. Hieronymus
Bosch portrayed the theme a number of times. Two paintings known to
be entirely by him have survived: one of them in the collection of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the other in the
Museo del Prado (Madrid). Both paintings were copied and imitated
from early on. This early appreciation from Bosch's own time is
striking. Over thirty early copies remain, making Bosch's
interpretation one of the most popular compositions from the Low
Countries of the later Middle Ages. The Bosch Research and
Conservation Project has studied a number of these copies very
closely. These important works by Bosch, and their influence, are
examined here in their cultural and historic context.
