Film | Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil

Join Rima Girnius, Associate Curator, European Painting and Sculpture, as she discusses the importance and popularity of Hieronymus Bosch.  She will also share the once-in-a-lifetime story about how a team of researchers determined that The Temptation of St. Anthony, a painting then in Nelson-Atkins storage, was an authentic and rare work by the 16^th-century master.

Immediately following the talk, enjoy a screening of the 2016 film Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil.  The documentary follows the Dutch art historians who researched and authenticated Bosch’s works ahead of exhibitions celebrating the 500^th anniversary of the master’s birth at the Noordebrandts Museum in Den Bosch, Netherlands, and the Prado in Madrid, Spain.

Offered in connection with the exhibition What Lies Beneath: Rediscovering Hieronymus Bosch and Albrecht Bouts.
