On its own, a painting by Joachim Wtewael can seem like a two-dimensional manifestation of an absurdly complex gâteau — gorgeous, delicious, but perhaps best taken in in small servings. Gathered together in critical mass in the exhibition, Pleasure and Piety: The Art of Joachim Wtewael (Utrecht, Centraal Museum, traveling this year to Washington, DC and Houston, Texas), however, the paintings’ immaculate surfaces and fervid sensuality make an intoxicating but satisfying meal.

Sixty of these meticulously crafted studies are on view through the end of November in the National Gallery of Art’s Andrew Wyeth: Looking Out, Looking In — the first show ever exclusively devoted to them.

The 25 surviving panels by the so-called “Devil’s Painter,” late Medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch, belong to some of the biggest museums in the world — the Louvre in Paris, the Prado in Madrid, the Accademia in Venice, the Metropolitan in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington. For seven years, Charles de Mooij, the director of a tiny museum in the Netherlands, has been struggling to secure loans to bring these paintings back to their humble birthplace: the town of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, in the Netherlands, where Bosch was born in 1450, and where he conjured up many apocalyptic visions of devils on ice skates, giant birds in paradise, and men with flutes for noses.
