Jheronimus/ Hieronymus Bosch. The Ship of Fools (‘Het Narrenschip’/ ‘La Nef des fous’), ca. 1500 (Musée du Louvre, Paris).

Oil on oak: 58.1 x 32.8 cm. This panel, with ‘Allegory of Gluttony and Lust’ (Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven), constituted the inside of a triptych that, when closed, revealed the ‘Wayfarer’ (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam). Restored in 2014-2015 by Agnès Malpel (Département des Peintures du musée du Louvre/ Bosch Research and Conservation Project). The panel had been subjected to overpainting, probably when it was presented as an autonomous painting. The foliage of the branch tied to the mast was considerably enlarged, and the water on which the vessel floats was significantly overpainted. A mountain that closed off the image on the right edge also proved to be a later addition.
