Follower Of Bosch
"Flemish, second half 16th century Christ in Limbo, oil on wood"

I've spent a great deal of time staring at this painting in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It's really amazing to be able to explore the individual paint marks in this weird hellish fantasy world up close. There is an original Hieronymus Bosch painting (Ecce Homo) a few rooms down from this work.

This painting is attributed to Bosch but I don't believe it's his work. But perhaps it is based on a lost Bosch Painting?

Thanks for these Aeron, I have'nt seen them before, the "Christ in Limbo" is very interesting, the giant figure looks like a cross between a "Mouth Puller" and a "Sheela-na-gig", which are found as stone carvings on Medieval churches. Paul.
