Ship of Fools (drawing)
techniek: Pen and Brush and Ink on Paper, 25.6 x 16.8 cm
The group of drawings associated with Hieronymus Bosch’s Ship of Fools and Death and the Miser occupy a unique position in his oeuvre because of their technique. Instead of being drawn with pen in brown ink, they were done in pen, brush, and ink on prepared paper. Their methods of execution are more closely related to painting than are his other drawings. This becomes even more apparent if we compare the drawings to the paintings with which they are related: The Ship of Fools in the Louvre (Cat. 19.2a), the fragment of that work in New Haven (Cat. 19.2b), and Death and the Miser in Washington, DC (Cat. 19.3). Both of these works must have been drawn after (and thematically, from) the paintings, probably by Bosch’s studio staff and not by the master himself. |  |
