Title What's in a Name? Questions of Connoisseurship and Attribution in the Works of Jheronimus Bosch
Summary A Viennese art historian named Dr. Fritz Koreny is currently disputing the authorship of several works by the late medieval artist Jheronimus Bosch. While the academic world has for the most part dismissed his hypothesis, he raises valid points which are difficult to ignore. This thesis is a comparative study which seeks to combine selected aspects of the findings of the Bosch Research and Conservation Project (an ongoing panel of specialists in late medieval panel painting, currently the pre-eminent experts on Bosch) with Fritz Koreny’s application of comparative connoisseurship in order investigate a potential methodology for determining attribution in the case of Jheronimus Bosch’s "The Haywain" (c. 1510-1516).
