“The Arts” section of the July 27, 2016 issue of The New York Times contains a review of the film, “Hieronymus Bosch: Touched by the Devil”, a documentary about the preparations for the Bosch exhibit at the Noordbrabants Museum in ‘s-Hertogenbosch mounted in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of his death. While the reviewer, Stephen Holden is unhappy with the amount of time that is devoted to the work of the team who traveled around the world studying and authenticating Bosch’s paintings, the Times chose to illustrate the review with a still of team member Ron Spronk, Queens University (Kingston, Ontario) and Radboud University (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) professor. Wow. The conservator (okay, the technical art historian) is a movie star.
