Removing the Rocks in the Head
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and enigmatic painting from the late 16th century, attributed to the Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch or one of his followers. The work, also known as "The Stone Head Patients" or "The Foolish Patients," depicts a group of men and boys, both seated and standing, gathered around a circular table inside an indoor setting. The central figure, a man in a hat, appears to be performing a surgical procedure on the head of another man, who sits with his eyes closed and a pained expression on his face. The man's head is exposed, revealing a large, stone-like object protruding from his skull. The painting's title refers to the proverb "rocks in the head," an old saying used to describe someone who is foolish or stupid. It is believed that the painting may depict a quack medical treatment or remedy, with the quack doctor performing a surgical procedure that is more likely to harm than help. The inquisitive and curious expressions on the faces of the onlookers add to the sense of intrigue and wonder. The painting is an oil on panel work, executed in a circular format, and is a prime example of the artistic movement known as the Northern Renaissance. The use of rich, vibrant colors and the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings demonstrate the skill and mastery of the artist, making it a valuable addition to the heritage of European art. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and continues to captivate and intrigue viewers with its mysterious and thought-provoking imagery.
