Jheronimus Bosch—Visions of Genius
Jheronimus Bosch—Visions of Genius (Dutch: Jheronimus Bosch - Visioenen van een genie[1]) was a 2016 art exhibition (13 February until 8 May 2016) at the Noordbrabants Museum in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, about the work of Hieronymus Bosch, a native of 's-Hertogenbosch.[2]
Seventeen of the world's known Bosch paintings were on display in the exhibition, along with 19 drawings.[3][4] The Telegraph described the work of curator Charles de Mooij in gathering them as "a feat of stamina and silver-tongued curatorial cunning."[4]
The exhibition presented Bosch as "a great realist"[4] highlighting the realistically-painted detail in his surreal paintings, backdating the Renaissance in the process since Bosch painted half a century before Vasari published.[3]
The years of intensive research by the Bosch Research and Conservation Project that preceded the exhibition, led scholars to demote two paintings belonging to the Prado, The Cure of Folly and The Temptation of St. Anthony. Long thought to be by Bosch, they are now regarded as having been painted by followers or by artists in Bosch's workshop.[5]
However, as a result of the research, the small Temptation of St. Anthony belonging to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, long thought to have been painted by a follower, is now regarded as the work of Bosch's own hand.
A documentary film based on constructing this show was made in 2016. It is titled Hieronymus Bosch, Touched by the Devil.

For centuries the received wisdom was that the Renaissance started in Italy. Ever since Giorgio Vasari, one of the first art historians, wrote in 1550 of a new naturalness in painting—as opposed to medieval mannerism—the idea of the Renaissance has been linked with frescoes in Florence or the sinuous forms painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Now, an important show of work by Hieronymus Bosch […] challenges that view. It shows how an artist usually associated with the medieval was using a naturalist style at least 50 years before Vasari. […] Of the 24 paintings known to be by Bosch, 17 are on display, while 19 of his drawings are also shown, making it the largest exhibition of his work to date.
