Altaar met Christus op wolk before 1643

This etching, titled "Altaar met Christus op wolk", is a design for an altarpiece by Abraham Bosse. Dated before 1643, the print depicts a complex architectural structure that houses religious imagery. In the center, Christ ascends to heaven, his outstretched hand holding a staff. Angels and other figures adorn the elaborate framework of the altar, highlighting the intricate detail and craftsmanship characteristic of Bosse's work. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this design reflects the Baroque period's penchant for theatrical, ornate structures and the fervent devotion that characterized the era.
