Workshop of Hieronymus Bosch (Netherlandish, c. 1450–1516)

Hieronymus Bosch was born around 1450 in 's-Hertogenbosch, Duchy of Brabant, Burgundian Netherlands.¹

In 1463, around 4,000 houses in the town were destroyed by a catastrophic fire, which the approximately thirteen-year-old Bosch presumably witnessed.¹

Sometime between 1479 and 1481, Hieronymus Bosch married Aleid Goyaerts van den Meervenne, who was a few years his senior.¹

In 1486/7, Hieronymus Bosch joined the highly respected Brotherhood of Our Lady, a devotional confraternity of some 40 influential citizens of 's-Hertogenbosch and 7,000 'outer-members' from around Europe.¹

Hieronymus Bosch's Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony is dated to around 1501.¹

AugHieronymus Bosch died on August 9, 1516, at the age of 65–66.¹

Charles Dominique Joseph Eisen was born in Valenciennes in 1720 and died in Brussels in 1778.²
