Trofee met guirlande 1737 - 1792

This etching, titled "Trofee met guirlande" (Trophy with Garland), created by Benigno Bossi between 1737 and 1792, showcases intricate details of a classical trophy. The central element is a crescent moon-shaped shield adorned with a reclining figure and an eagle, symbolizing victory. The surrounding elements are equally rich: a garland, laurel branches, two swords, and a warrior's helmet. The overall design embodies the spirit of triumph and grandeur, typical of the Baroque era, and showcases Bossi's mastery of line and detail. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
