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

Triptych of the Adoration of the Magi (closed)

c. 1510
Oil on wood, 138 x 72 cm
Museo del Prado, Madrid

The outer sides of the altarpiece represent a single composition: the mass of St Gregory at an altar holding the sarcophagus of Christ. The episodes on the frame of this altar are from the Passion of Christ. The kneeling figure at the left side is probably the deceased father of Pieter Bronckhorst, the donor of the altarpiece.

The frame of the triptych is original.
