The Crowning with Thorns
techniek: Oil on Oak, 157.5 × 195.8 cm
In 1593, when King Philip II of Spain had it transferred to the monastery of El Escorial, this painting was described as a Bosch (de Hierónimo Bosco). There is a striking similarity to the central panel of the Crowning with Thorns triptych in Valencia (Cat. 28), which bears the signature of the master of ’s-Hertogenbosch. Both works were long attributed to Bosch until dendrochronological research, which determines the age of wooden panels by studying their growth rings, revealed that both paintings can not have been painted before the second quarter of the sixteenth century, after the death of Bosch. The composition references Bosch’s Crowning with Thorns now in London (Cat. 14), as well as a number of sixteenth century works painted by other artists in Antwerp. That is probably where this work also had its origins. |  |
