St. Christopher Carrying the Christ Child, by Hieronymus Bosch (1485)
This caption gives the wrong date for Bosch’s painting. The owning museum dates the work to around 1500, not 1485.
Full reasoning
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, which holds the painting, does not date it to 1485. On the museum’s collection page, the work is titled “Saint Christopher Carrying the Christ Child” and dated “in circa 1500.” In the museum’s restoration page for the same painting, it is dated “1490–1505.”
Because both pages are from the holding museum and both place the work around 1500 rather than in 1485, the article’s caption date is incorrect.

The restoration page repeatedly identifies the picture as “Hieronymus Bosch, Saint Christopher, 1490-1505, oil on panel.”
