Abstract

The mystery of Hieronymus Bosch’s intent has been debated for centuries. The iconography of his works poses many different questions and problems in determining his intent, meaning, and symbolism as an artist. Bosch encountered many different influences that had an effect and impact on his style and work. I set out to research the iconography of the panel of Saint Giles within the triptych of Hermit Saints by Hieronymus Bosch in the Ducal Palace in Venice. This research is helping my search in determining Bosch’s intent, meaning, symbolism, and influences in this panel.
