BOSCH, Hieronymus

(b. ca. 1450, 's-Hertogenbosch, d. 1516, 's-Hertogenbosch)

Hermit Saints Triptych (central panel) c. 1505 Oil on panel, 86 x 60 cm Palazzo Ducale, Venice

The Hermit Saints Triptych was painted towards the middle of Bosch's career. In the centre St Jerome fastens his gaze on a crucifix, secure against the evil world symbolized by the remains of a pagan temple scattered around him on the ground and by two monstrous animals engaged in a death struggle below. On the left, St Anthony the Hermit resists the amorous advances of the Devil-Queen. Snugly ensconced in a cave chapel on the right wing, St Giles prays before an altar, the arrow piercing his breast commemorating the time when he was shot accidentally by a passing hunter. All three saints reflect the monastic ideal: a life spent in mortification of the flesh and in continuous prayer and meditation.
