Frontispiece for Callot's "The New Testament" 1635

This intricate engraving by Abraham Bosse, created in 1635, serves as the frontispiece for Jacques Callot's "The New Testament". The design features a central heart-shaped cartouche adorned with a cherub's head and elaborate swirling scrolls, framed by two rolled banners featuring crosses. The inscription within the cartouche informs the viewer that Callot's work was completed posthumously, after his untimely death in 1635. The rich detail and intricate composition, typical of Bosse's work, make this engraving an elegant and poignant tribute to the artist Callot and the sacred text.
