Onderboezem, schacht gedecoreerd met Fortuna before 1643

"Onderboezem, schacht gedecoreerd met Fortuna" is an etching by Abraham Bosse, a renowned French artist known for his detailed engravings. This design, dated before 1643, showcases a richly ornamented fireplace, with Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune, standing prominently within the central panel. The intricate details, including cherubs, a coat of arms, and a depiction of a ship at sea, highlight the artistic mastery of Bosse and the prevailing baroque style of the time. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this work is a testament to the enduring allure of decorative art.
