De heilige Bonifatius, 1626 Cornelis Bloemaert (II)
Presented is an evocative depiction of Saint Boniface, the revered martyr and Archbishop of Utrecht. He is portrayed in full bishop's attire, wearing a mitre on his head. In his right hand, he holds a book pierced by a sword, symbolizing his martyrdom, while his left hand grasps a whip and a staff from which a fountain springs. This print is part of an exquisite series of twelve prints featuring prelates and bishops of Utrecht, masterfully crafted by Cornelis and Frederick Bloemaert.
