When closed, these grisaille paintings depict scenes from the Passion of Christ, specifically the Arrest of Christ and the Carrying of the Cross. Bosch employs a monochromatic palette, using shades of brown, ochre, and grey to simulate stone sculpture, a common technique for the outer wings of altarpieces during the Northern Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe left panel shows the arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. Figures crowd the space, with Peter severing the ear of Malchus in the foreground. The composition is dense, filled with soldiers and followers, reflecting the chaotic nature of the event. The right panel depicts the Carrying of the Cross, where Christ falls under the weight of the timber while surrounded by a jeering mob. The figures exhibit the characteristic elongated proportions and expressive, often grotesque, facial features associated with Bosch's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the colourful and surreal interior of the triptych, which explores the psychological torment of the saint, these exterior panels provide a sober, meditative introduction. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth within the arched frames, drawing the viewer into the narrative. The figures are arranged in a way that suggests movement and tension, typical of the artist's approach to complex theological subjects. These panels demonstrate the technical skill of the workshop in handling oil glazes to achieve a sculptural effect on wood. The work remains a primary example of how religious art functioned in the early sixteenth century, transitioning from the public, sombre exterior to the private, visionary interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/christ-falling-under-the-cross-lucas-cranach-the-elder\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eChrist Falling Under the Cross by Lucas Cranach the Elder\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ecce-homo-and-the-disrobing-of-christ-cornelis-engebrechtsz\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEcce Homo and The Disrobing of Christ by Cornelis Engebrechtsz\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hieronymus-bosch\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Hieronymus Bosch →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hieronymus Bosch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131397472591,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131415363919,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131415396687,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131415429455,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131415462223,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131415494991,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131415527759,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131415560527,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131415593295,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131415626063,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131415658831,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131415691599,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Triptych-of-the-Temptation-of-St-Anthony-Exterior-Panels-_Poster_CompositorV1_1792117028957.jpg?v=1792139460","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/triptych-of-the-temptation-of-st-anthony-exterior-panels-hieronymus-bosch","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
