Aglaé en Bonifatius van Tarsus 1843 - 1905

"Aglaé en Bonifatius van Tarsus" is a black and white lithograph by Belgian artist Gustave Joseph Biot, housed at the Rijksmuseum. Depicting a scene with two figures in an interior setting, the artwork utilizes detailed hatching to illustrate the draped fabrics and textures. The oval composition of the artwork, common in historical prints, creates a sense of intimacy and focuses the viewer's attention on the central figures. Biot's meticulous technique and the subject matter of the artwork highlight the artist's exploration of classical themes within the context of 19th-century European art.
