“Was de familie Vezelaer in de 16de eeuw eigenaar van een Jeroen Bosch?” (Harry Satter) 2016

The inventory that was drawn up after the death of the Antwerp citizen Margaretha Boghe (2 November 1574 and 21 January 1575) mentions a painting that is attributed to Bosch: Een tafereel van Jeronymus Bosch, wesende van de VII dootsonden [a scene by Jeronymus Bosch, representing the VII Deadly Sins]. It is unknown to which painting this refers and whether it can be attributed to Bosch (or to his workshop). Margaretha Boghe was the widow of Joris Vezelaer, a goldsmith and tradesman, and this Joris was a son of the ’s-Hertogenbosch goldsmith Jacob Janszoon Vezelaer (died around 1498) who was an external member of the ’s-Hertogenbosch Confraternity of Our Lady. Jacob may have commissioned the painting mentioned in 1574-75 from Bosch, but this is highly uncertain.
This article does not offer any Bosch-related data that are not known from earlier books and articles.
