IDFA viewing tip for Friday 20 November

For 500 years, Hieronymus Bosch has captured the imagination. His paintings remain enormously expressive, even though we may now have lost sight of the ecclesiastical context. In the run-up to the major retrospective that the North Brabant Museum is organising next year, a selection of Dutch art historians and curators will set out to examine Bosch's paintings. What lies beneath the layers of paint, are they paintings by the master himself and not by his pupils? Director Pieter van Huystee follows them as they end up in a bureaucratic hell. Because fellow museums are not cooperating, everyone has their own interests to defend and there are at least two other major Bosch exhibitions to come.
