(c. 1520 ’s–Hertogenbosch)

Bos was born circa 1549 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in southern Netherlands. In French, the city’s name is “Bois-le-Duc”. Bos lived in Rome for a number of years and his works, such as this one, were influenced by Marcantonio Raimondi (near Bologna 1480 – died between 1527 and 1534).
