Bolswert, depicting Adam and Eve surrounded by a diverse collection of animals in the Garden of Eden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Boetius Adamsz. Bolswert depicts the biblical narrative of Adam and Eve within a dense, encyclopaedic representation of the Garden of Eden. Bolswert, a skilled Dutch engraver, demonstrates his technical proficiency through the use of varied line weights and cross-hatching to define the textures of foliage, animal fur, and human anatomy. The composition is crowded, reflecting the Northern European tradition of the period where artists sought to document the natural world alongside theological subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdam and Eve are positioned near the centre, surrounded by a vast array of creatures. The artist includes domestic animals, exotic beasts, and birds, creating a sense of pre-lapsarian harmony. The trees are rendered with a high degree of detail, their branches forming a canopy that frames the figures. The background recedes into a distant, hazy horizon, providing a sense of scale to the enclosed garden. The engraving style is typical of the early seventeenth century, prioritising clarity of form and the systematic organisation of space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert was known for his collaborations with other artists, including Peter Paul Rubens, and his work often reflects the technical rigour of the Dutch printmaking tradition. This specific print serves as a visual catalogue of creation, where the human figures are integrated into a wider natural order. The attention to the specific characteristics of each animal, from the deer in the foreground to the birds perched in the upper branches, suggests a fascination with natural history that was common among collectors of the era. The print is a fine example of the technical precision achievable through copperplate engraving, where every mark contributes to the overall tonal balance of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-lamoral-count-of-egmont-dominicus-custos\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Lamoral, Count of Egmont - Dominicus Custos — Dominicus Custos\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/salvator-mundi-agostino-carracci\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSalvator Mundi - Agostino Carracci — Agostino Carracci\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boetius à Bolswert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429088432463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429095739727,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429095772495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429095805263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429095838031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429095870799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429095903567,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429095936335,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429095969103,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429096001871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429096034639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429096067407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Adam-and-Eve-in-the-Garden-of-Eden_Poster_CompositorV1_1786175552755.jpg?v=1786231641"},{"product_id":"adoration-of-the-shepherds-boetius-adamsz-bolswert","title":"Adoration of the Shepherds - Boetius Adamsz.

Bolswert captures the biblical scene of the Adoration of the Shepherds. Bolswert, a skilled Dutch engraver, was known for his technical precision and his ability to translate the dramatic compositions of his contemporaries into the medium of print. The work demonstrates the characteristic movement and emotional weight associated with the Baroque period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is arranged with a clear hierarchy. At the centre, the infant Christ lies in a manger, surrounded by the Virgin Mary and a group of shepherds. The figures are rendered with careful attention to anatomy and drapery, reflecting the influence of the Flemish school. Above the central group, a host of angels descends from the clouds, adding a sense of divine presence to the earthly scene. The use of light and shadow, or chiaroscuro, is managed through the density of the engraved lines, creating a sense of depth and volume within the stable environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert often collaborated with painters such as Peter Paul Rubens, and this print reflects the dynamic energy and theatricality common to that artistic circle. The inclusion of animals, such as the ox and the dog, adds a grounded, naturalistic element to the composition. The lower portion of the print features Latin text, a common convention for high-quality engravings of this era, which provides context and dedication for the work. The fine lines and cross-hatching demonstrate the technical mastery required to produce such a detailed image on a copper plate.

Bolswert, dated 1614, functions as an allegorical title page. It presents a scene of pastoral contentment, framed by the tools and animals associated with agrarian labour. A man and a woman are positioned centrally, resting beside a large vessel, surrounded by implements such as a scythe, a rake, and a basket. The composition is dense, with the figures and objects arranged to create a sense of abundance and rustic simplicity.

The lines are fine and controlled, creating varied textures across the fur of the animals, the fabric of the clothing, and the metallic surfaces of the tools. The central cartouche contains Latin text, which praises the happiness of a life free from urban cares, focusing instead on the honest work of the fields and the comfort of a shared domestic existence.

Bolswert captures a quiet, rural scene characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The composition centres on a sturdy, multi-storey dovecote, a structure common in the period for housing pigeons.

Bolswert captures a quiet moment in the Dutch countryside. The composition focuses on a rustic, thatched-roof shed, which serves as a shelter for agricultural equipment, including several wagon wheels. A gnarled tree grows directly behind the structure, its twisted branches adding a sense of age and wear to the scene. In the foreground, a figure walks with a dog, providing a sense of scale and human presence within the rural setting.

The cross-hatching on the roof and the varied line weights on the tree bark demonstrate his technical control. The sky is rendered with light, horizontal strokes, suggesting a breezy day. This work reflects the seventeenth-century Dutch interest in the everyday life of the peasantry and the humble aspects of rural existence. Unlike the grand historical or religious subjects common in other European traditions, this print finds value in the mundane details of farm life. The artist manages to imbue the scene with a sense of atmosphere through his careful attention to light and shadow, creating a cohesive image that feels grounded in reality. The print is typical of the period, where artists sought to document the specificities of their surroundings with clarity and observational rigour.

Bolswert captures a rugged, mountainous terrain typical of the imaginative landscape tradition prevalent in the early seventeenth-century Netherlands.

The result is a balanced image that invites close inspection of its technical execution and its depiction of seventeenth-century life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-village-tavern-john-lewis-krimmel\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Village Tavern - John Lewis Krimmel — John Lewis Krimmel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/landscape-with-two-horsemen-on-a-road-carl-wilhelm-weisbrod\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape with Two Horsemen on a Road - Carl Wilhelm Weisbrod — Carl Wilhelm Weisbrod\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boetius à Bolswert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429302440271,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429318070607,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429318103375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429318136143,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429318168911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429318201679,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429318234447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429318267215,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429318299983,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429318332751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429318365519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429318398287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sleeping-Dog-before-a-Cottage_Poster_CompositorV1_1786180600941.jpg?v=1786236109"},{"product_id":"shepherd-before-a-town-boetius-adamsz-bolswert","title":"Shepherd before a Town - Boetius Adamsz.

Bolswert, capturing a shepherd resting near a small Dutch town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Boetius Adamsz. Bolswert depicts a quiet rural scene, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age interest in everyday life. A shepherd rests upon a grassy mound in the foreground, accompanied by a small flock of sheep. The composition is anchored by a large, weathered tree stump to the left, which provides a textural contrast to the smooth, rolling terrain. Behind the shepherd, a cluster of modest, gabled houses forms the edge of a town. The architecture shows typical seventeenth-century Dutch features, including steep roofs and wooden exterior structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert employs a precise etching technique to define the forms. The lines are varied in weight, creating depth through cross-hatching and parallel strokes. The sky is rendered with subtle, horizontal lines that suggest an overcast day, while the foliage of the trees is captured with short, flicking marks that convey a sense of movement. The scene is devoid of grand narrative, focusing instead on the quiet observation of a pastoral moment. The shepherd, dressed in simple attire, appears integrated into the environment, his posture relaxed as he watches over his animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the period's fascination with the local countryside and the lives of those who inhabited it. Bolswert, known for his skill as a printmaker and his collaborations with artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, demonstrates here a mastery of the etching medium. The print captures the textures of stone, wood, and wool with clarity. It provides a window into the rural aesthetics of the Netherlands during the early seventeenth century, offering a calm, observational perspective on a common sight of the era.

Bolswert depicts the vision of Saint Francis of Assisi, a subject frequently explored in seventeenth-century religious art. The composition is divided into two distinct zones: the earthly realm, where the saint kneels in prayer before a chapel entrance, and the celestial sphere above, occupied by Christ, the Virgin Mary, and a bishop saint. The artist employs a sophisticated use of line to define the heavy folds of drapery and the ethereal quality of the clouds surrounding the divine figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert, a skilled engraver from the Netherlands, was known for his ability to translate the dramatic lighting and emotional intensity of the Baroque period into the medium of print. The figures in the upper register are arranged in a classic triangular formation, with Christ positioned at the apex, radiating light. Below, the architectural elements of the chapel provide a sense of grounded perspective, contrasting with the fluid, weightless forms of the cherubim and the divine assembly. The work demonstrates the technical precision characteristic of Bolswert's output, particularly in his handling of cross-hatching to create depth and volume within the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the moment of the Portiuncula Indulgence, a narrative central to Franciscan tradition.

The inclusion of Latin inscriptions at the base provides context for the scene, a common feature in devotional prints of the era. The balance between the structured, linear architecture and the soft, rounded forms of the celestial beings illustrates the stylistic tensions present in European printmaking during the early seventeenth century.

Bolswert presents a complex allegorical scene centred on the theme of monastic solitude and devotion. The composition is structured around a wooded clearing, where various figures engage in acts of prayer and contemplation. In the foreground, a hermit sits beneath a large tree, reading, with an hourglass and a cross nearby. A pelican feeding its young, a traditional symbol of self-sacrifice, occupies the lower centre, accompanied by the Latin inscription: Similis factus sum pelicano solitudinis (I have become like a pelican of the wilderness), taken from Psalm 102.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print employs a series of lettered markers, typical of didactic or devotional imagery from the early seventeenth century, to guide the viewer through the narrative elements. These include figures in the distance, a small chapel structure on the right, and various symbols of ascetic life. Bolswert, a skilled engraver from the Dutch Republic, demonstrates a mastery of line work, using varied hatching techniques to create texture in the bark of the trees, the foliage, and the rocky terrain.

Bolswert reproduces the composition of The Last Supper, originally painted by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens. Bolswert was a skilled printmaker who collaborated closely with Rubens to translate the painterly qualities of the Baroque style into the medium of copperplate engraving. His technique employs a sophisticated system of cross-hatching and varied line weights to replicate the dramatic chiaroscuro and atmospheric depth characteristic of Rubens's original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts Christ at the centre of the table, surrounded by his disciples. The composition is defined by the heavy, flowing drapery of the figures and the architectural setting, which provides a sense of enclosure and solemnity. Light emanates from the figure of Christ, casting soft shadows across the faces of the apostles and the table setting. Bolswert captures the emotional weight of the moment through the expressive gestures and varied postures of the figures, ranging from quiet contemplation to active engagement. The inclusion of domestic details, such as the vessels in the foreground, adds a grounded, tactile quality to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert's work is notable for its technical precision and its ability to maintain the narrative tension of the original painting. By using a monochromatic palette, the print focuses the viewer's attention on the interplay of light and form. This piece offers an insight into the dissemination of Baroque art in the seventeenth century, where printmakers played a vital role in circulating the compositions of major painters to a wider audience across Europe. The print retains the formal balance and theatricality associated with the Counter-Reformation art of the period, providing a clear example of the collaborative relationship between painter and engraver in the Dutch and Flemish traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-martin-ryckaert-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Martin Ryckaert - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boetius à Bolswert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429380952399,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429386817871,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429386850639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429386883407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429386916175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429386948943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429386981711,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429387014479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429387047247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429387080015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429387112783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429387145551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Last-Supper_Poster_CompositorV1_1786182277762.jpg?v=1786237860"},{"product_id":"saint-euphrasia-of-constantinople-as-a-hermit-boetius-adamsz-bolswert","title":"Saint Euphrasia of Constantinople as a Hermit - Boëtius Adamsz.

Bolswert depicting Saint Euphrasia in prayer, confronted by a demonic figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert depicts Saint Euphrasia of Constantinople in a moment of ascetic devotion. The composition focuses on the saint kneeling in prayer, her hands clasped around a rosary. She is positioned within a sparse, dark environment, which suggests the isolation of her life as a hermit. Behind her, a demonic figure looms, representing the spiritual trials and temptations she faced during her period of seclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolswert employs a rigorous technique of cross-hatching and varied line weights to define the forms. The contrast between the light illuminating the saint and the deep shadows surrounding the demon creates a dramatic tension characteristic of the period. The inclusion of simple objects, such as a bowl and a bundle of twigs on the floor, reinforces the austere nature of her existence. The Latin inscription, 'Sancta Euphraxia', identifies the subject, placing the work within the tradition of hagiographic print series common in the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a Dutch engraver, Bolswert was known for his technical precision and his ability to translate complex theological narratives into accessible visual formats. This print demonstrates his skill in rendering texture, from the folds of the saint's simple garments to the grotesque features of the tempter. The work functions as a meditation on faith and the struggle against malevolent forces, rendered with the clarity and discipline typical of Northern Baroque printmaking. The composition is balanced, directing the viewer's attention to the saint's focused expression while acknowledging the external threat posed by the figure behind her. This piece is a representative example of the devotional prints produced in the Netherlands during the early seventeenth century, intended for both private contemplation and wider circulation among the faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-martin-ryckaert-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Martin Ryckaert - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boetius à Bolswert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429387964751,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429407920463,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429407953231,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429407985999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429408018767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429408051535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429408084303,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429408117071,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429408149839,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429408182607,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429408215375,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429408248143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-Euphrasia-of-Constantinople-as-a-Hermit_Poster_CompositorV1_1786182489161.jpg?v=1786238023"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/boetius-a-bolswert.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
