The Conjurer ☵ Bosch ☴ Canvas

The Conjurer (1502) by Hieronymus Bosch is a notably secular painting whereas he is generally known for religious depictions. It is one of five versions of the painting, and one engraving, made when scenes of everyday life were becoming more popular. Bosch depicts a street magician distracting his audience with a game of cups and balls, with other tools of misdirection and trickery represented, such as a dog dressed as an imp, and an owl concealed in a basket. The most intrigued spectator can be seen spitting toads from his mouth, and while leaning in, being relieved of his money purse. A Flemish proverb, published widely in Bosch's time, is "No one is so much a fool as a willful fool."

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
