JACOB BOS

(c. 1520 ’s–Hertogenbosch)

 

Bos was born in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the southern Netherlands (in French, the city’s name is “Bois-le-Duc”), and was active in Rome from 1549 onward. His works, such as this one, were influenced by Marcantonio Raimondi (near Bologna 1480 – died between 1527 and 1534).
