Circle of Hieronymus Bosch (Hertogenbosch, c. 1450-1516) - The Roof

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 44 × 54 cm (unframed). This allegorical painting, with its strong symbolic character, belongs to the moralizing tradition of 17th-century Northern Europe, evoking the visionary and satirical world of artists such as Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The composition presents a fantastical scene populated by human figures and hybrid creatures, arranged on a ruined architectural structure that serves as a metaphor for folly and moral decay. The use of grotesque and narrative elements transforms the work into a veritable “visual sermon,” confronting human vanity, spiritual distraction, and the threat of divine punishment. The iconographic density and admonitory tone lend the painting remarkable expressive power and profound moral content. This lot is stored in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export permit from the country of origin may be required.
