Burning Ship
techniek: Pen and Ink on Paper, 29.4 x 21.8 cm
This drawing seems to be a copy after what we consider to be an autograph drawing by Bosch of a hellish burning ship in the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The interesting thing about this drawing is that the composition is larger than the original. The scene on the bottom, with desperate people seeking refuge from a great amount of oversized daggers, swords, knifes and halberds, is absent in the original. Therefore this drawing is an important document. It probably gives us a sense of what Bosch’s drawing - nowadays surviving as a fragment - originally looked like. |  |
