In this work, pigment characterization was carried out on twenty-one Leonardesque paintings applying in situ XRF and FORS analyses. In-depth data evaluation allowed to get information on the colour palette and the painting technique of the different authors and workshops. Particular attention was paid to green pigments (for which a deeper study of possible pigments and alterations was performed with FORS analyses), flesh tones (for which a comparison with available data from cross sections was made) and ground preparation.

  • Jheronimus Bosch-His Sources
    In the concluding review of his 1987 monograph on Jheronimus Bosch, Roger Marijnissen wrote: ‘In essays and studies on Bosch, too little attention has been paid to the people who Jheronimus Bosch: his Patrons and actually ordered paintings from him’. 1 And in L’ABCdaire de Jérôme Bosch , a French book published in 2001, the same author warned: ‘Ignoring the original destination and function his Public of a painting, one is bound to lose the right path. The function remains a basic element, and What we know and would like to know even the starting point of all research. In Bosch’s day, it was the main reason for a painting to exist’. 2 The third International Bosch Conference focuses precisely on this aspect, as we can read from the official announcement (’s-Hertogenbosch, September 2012): ‘New information Eric De Bruyn about the patrons of Bosch is of extraordinary importance, since such data will allow for a much better understanding of the original function of these paintings’. Gathering further information about the initial reception of Bosch’s works is indeed one of the urgent desiderata of Bosch research for the years to come. The objective of this introductory paper is to offer a state of affairs (up to September 2012) concerning the research on Bosch’s patronage and on the original function of his paintings. I will focus on those things that can be considered proven facts but I will also briefly mention what seem to be the most interesting hypotheses and signal a number of desiderata for future research.

The portrait was examined with non-invasive methods: X-ray radiography (XRR), digital microscopy and micro-XRF. The examination of XRR images exposed the details of the painting’s underlying depiction, which according to the details preserved appears to be a completed or nearly fnished portrait of a standing man. The application of digital microscopy on the Ecce Homo painting’s cracks enabled the identifcation of the work’s stratigraphy. Micro-XRF performed on selected spots allowed to identify lead white, vermilion, red iron oxide, umber, carbon black and copper green in the underly- ing portrait. The described investigation methodology was guided by the close visual analysis of the Ecce Homo work and proved to be efective in the identifcation of the pigments of the hidden painting and the reconstruction of its colour palette.

  • Today Hieronymus Bosch Is Most Readily Associated with Images of Hell and Its
    CHAPTER 1 A NEW BOSCH EPIPHANY? ADORATION OF THE MAGI REASSEMBLED Larry Silver, University of Pennsylvania For Yona Pinson, colleague and friend Today Hieronymus Bosch is most readily associated with images of Hell and its torments or with the temptation of isolated hermit saints by legions of demons. Among his Gospel subjects, however, Bosch’s most popular (and most copied) imagery features the scene of Epiphany. That event, associated with the twelfth night of Christmas season, occurred when the wise men or “Magi” from “the East” (traditionally three in number in visual art) came to Jerusalem, led by the star in the East, to view the King of the Jews, the new-born infant Jesus (Matthew 2:1–11). In tribute they brought luxury gifts, fit for a king: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Although pagans, these foreign kings were the first Gentiles to acknowledge the divinity and royal supremacy of the Christ Child. Their holy relics were later to enjoy special veneration in a magnificent golden shrine from the early thirteenth century created by Nicholas of Verdun, in Cologne Cathedral, the archdiocese of the Netherlands.1 During the period of Bosch’s early career, Netherlandish visual conventions of the late fifteenth century pictured the Three Magi as representatives of the three ages of mankind (youth, maturity, and old age) as well as the three Old World continents 1 Franz Günter Zehnder, Die Heiligen Drei Könige: Darstellung und Verehrung (Cologne: Wallraf- Richartz-Museum, 1982). (Africa, Asia, and Europe).2 Europe, the most senior by virtue of being the first to adopt Christianity, is usually shown as the oldest, white-haired Magus, given the most favorable position, kneeling closest to the Christ Child.

  • “Ecce Homo” by Antonello Da Messina, from Non-Invasive Investigations To
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN “Ecce Homo” by Antonello da Messina, from non‑invasive investigations to data fusion and dissemination Fauzia Albertin1,2,3, Chiara Ruberto4,5*, Costanza Cucci6*, Marco Callieri7, Marco Potenziani7*, Eliana Siotto7, Paolo Pingi7, Roberto Scopigno7, Matteo Bettuzzi2,3, Rosa Brancaccio2,3, Maria Pia Morigi2,3, Lisa Castelli4, Francesco Taccetti4, Marcello Picollo6, Lorenzo Stefani6 & Francesca de Vita8 Scientifc investigations of artworks are crucial in terms of preservation since they provide a measurable evaluation of the materials and the state of conservation. This is the case of Antonello da Messina’s painting “Ecce Homo”: its delicate state of conservation, with the need for constant monitoring, required a broad and in‑depth diagnostic campaign to support the restorers. The project was carried out entirely in situ using non‑invasive cutting‑edge techniques and proposes a multimodal and data‑centric approach, integrating 3D and 2D methodologies. The surface irregularities and the support were analysed with a structured‑light 3D scanner and X‑ray tomography. The painting materials were investigated with X‑ray fuorescence scanning (MA‑XRF) and refectance hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Primarily, the data were jointly used for a scientifc scope and provided new knowledge of the painting in terms of materials and painting techniques. In addition, two web‑based interactive platforms were developed: one to provide restorers and experts with a new perspective of the hidden geometries of the painting, and the other targeted at the general public for dissemination purposes. The results of the Ecce Homo scientifc analysis were exhibited, using a touch‑screen interface, and developed for diferent user levels, from adults to kids.

  • Hieronymous Bosch © Laurence Shafe, 2019
    Hieronymous Bosch © Laurence Shafe, 2019 • This talk is based on an exhibition that opened in 2016, the 500th anniversary of the death of Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516). • The first thing to say is that we know very little of the artist, when he painted each work and their meaning. This has not prevented a great deal of research and even more speculation driven by the power, uniqueness and suggestiveness of his work. I first, briefly, put his work in the context of other artists of the same period and then look at each of his major works in turn. • He was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (pronounced ‘set-erten-bosh’) as Jheronimus van Aken (pronounced ‘jeronimus van arken’) but signs his paintings as Jheronimus Bosch. He was famous in his lifetime and is known in Spain as El Bosco and Philip II (1527-1598) was a great admirer and bought many of his works. • The anniversary of his death was celebrated by a major exhibition in ‘s- Hertogenbosch which brought together 20 of his 25 surviving panels. A major exhibition was also held at the Prado in Madrid which holds The Garden of Earthly Delights, which can never be moved. • Over the years art historians have speculated on his work and have claimed he incorporated heretical messages such as the Adamite, Cathar or even Rosicrucian beliefs. Other theories find a basis in astrology or alchemy or even that he was a drug addict and they represent his drug-induced dreams. Recent researchers 1 nearly all agree that his worked incorporates the strict moral codes of the period and is concerned with sin and its consequences.
