Saint Christopher Carrying the Christ Child

Ask anything

• Dr. Ronit Rapp asked

  I have written an academic article that deals with writing which was influenced by famous works of art. The article will be published in Hebrew in an academic journal.
  I would like to ask about a permission to include in the article the painting:
  Christopher Carrying the Christ Child Jheronimus Bosch (in circa 1500).
  I would greatly appreciate your consent to my request. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information.

• Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

  Dear Ronnie, yes, you can use the image in your publication; there are no reproduction rights involved, but we would appreciate it very much if you could credit te photographer as well as the museum. Please contact images@boijmans.nl to obtain a hi res file and the correct credits. Kind regards, Els

• Paul Tullis asked

  Hi, I am on a mission to see every one of Bosch's works. Can I be sure to see St. Christopher, the Wayfarer Triptych, Owl's Nest drawing, After the Flood (follower) and the copy of the New York Adoration during my visit to the Depot? (I don't really understand how/which works are displayed during storage)> Thanks!

• Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

  Dear Paul, the depot is a storage facility and most works are stored on racks or (in the case of works on paper) safely in boxes. Just a few (Christoper, The Peddler) are visible in the Highlights presentation. It is possible, however, to apply for a private viewing. For this service you need to pay the costs for art handling - which in your case can be quite substantial. I have checked and our collection counts 48 works that in one way or another are connected to Bosch. Probably they are not all equally important for you. By separate email I will send you a list with all the information. Some works do not have an image yet, as they have not been photographed professionally. In case you want to apply for a private viewing, please contact collectiebeheer@boijmans.nl. Good luck with your mission and kind regards, Els

• Camille Baron asked

  Hi, I work for a documentary film (no commercial use, no reproduction print or web) and I would be interested in receiving a very HQ picture (9000px x 9000px) of St Christopher by Bosch. How do I proceed?

• Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

  Hello Camille, if you could redirect your question to images@boijmans.nl, then they will help further with your request. Greetings, Sarie.
