Bosch's Venetian Legacy Explored at Palazzo Ducale
A dossier exhibition at Palazzo Ducale in Venice, curated by the Civic Museums of Venice director Gabriella Belli, examines the connection between Jheronimus Bosch (1450–1516) and the Venetian lagoon. Until next June, the Doge's Apartment hosts around fifty masterpieces centered on three recently restored works from the Gallerie dell'Accademia, also celebrated in exhibitions in 's-Hertogenbosch and at the Prado. The show is not a monographic display but a network of references highlighting the spread of a 'Boschian' taste in Venice during the painter's time, fueled by Cardinal Domenico Grimani's passion, and Bosch's influence on later generations. The artist remains a subject of ongoing study.
