Five Favorite Paintings in the MSK Ghent
In addition to its medieval architecture, exceptional restaurants and fine shopping, Ghent also boasts one of the most renowned fine-art museums in Europe. These are five of my favorite paintings from The Museum of Fine Arts.
“Christ Carrying the Cross”
By Hieronymus Bosch
Nightmarish, as are so many of the artist’s canvases, this one depicts Christ surrounded by a crowd of grotesque faces. The exception is the beautiful Saint Veronica, the woman who offered her veil to Jesus. (The attribution to Bosch has been disputed, but the painting is still astonishingly powerful.)
