Boat with ten people onboard from Ship of Fools
Although art historians have repeatedly linked Bosch’s Louvre panel of that title and Brant’s Ship of Fools [Brant, 1944; Brant, 1962], they have tended to focus on strictly formal similarities: both feature a ship and a number of fools. They have usually not considered the content either of Brant’s text or of the notion of fool. Yet substantive research of this nature proves to be extremely fruitful for the problem of Bosch [Hartau, 2001, 63-84]. (p. 96)
