Georg Plattner vom #KHMWien weiß bei #dArV2025 aus seiner Arbeit in der #Provenienzforschung zu berichten, dass auch Pollen und Erdanhaftungen durchaus ein Rolle im Versuch der Herkunftsbestimmungen von Antiken spielen können - mit Einschränkungen, weil Verunreinigungen auf dem Transportweg (Einschiffung auf entsprechend internationalem Frachter) eine römische Skulptur schon einmal mit China in Verbindung bringen kann.

So Last Sunday, it happened as announced: I deleted my WhatsApp and Instagram Account. Insta I was only using for political content in the last couple of weeks but it was hard for me to delete it anyway, because before the inauguration in the US I really did love my insta. I loved the pictures of all the different exhibitions I went to, it was like my personal museum-diary...
It started in Vienna.

THE HUMAN PLOUGH
is another genius <inventio> by Hieronymus Bosch.

*It’s part of the enduring Purgatory (or Hell).
*The whole scene is again an Upside Down image.
*As the ultimate reversal, the dragon (=snake!) steers the plough.
*It may echo Genesis 3:17- “..cursed is the ground for thy sake..”.

Detail from the Last Judgment/Vienna - H.Bosch studio ~1500.
At #KHMWien museum.

Hieronymus Bosch & his Studio not only represented poor souls in Purgatory and Hellish scenes.
In small spots of some triptychs can be seen blessed going to Heaven, often aided by angels. At RIGHT #KHMWien.

One panel even shows just that! At LEFT, in Venice.
All works ca.1500AD.

SOME ROUND DISCS ARE EXECUTION BOARDS
or may refer to such, on works by Hieronymus Bosch/Shop ~1500.
The one on Tree-Man’s head can also be a diner board, a hat, or a podium.

At RIGHT FRONT: from the Last Judgment/Vienna #KHMWien
REST: fm Garden of Earthly Delights #PradoMuseum

A SNAKE WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY
is depicted twice on the Last Judgment/Vienna.

It refers obviously to cleansing/punishment for the
Original Sin ie Superbia (and possibly also sin Luxuria?).
