EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Sight" created by the talented artist Abraham Bosse in the early 17th century, we are transported into a boudoir filled with intriguing elements. The print showcases a beautifully adorned dressing table, adorned with various objects that symbolize the sense of sight. Atop the table, an astronomer's telescope stands tall, reflecting both his passion for celestial observation and his dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. A mirror positioned strategically captures not only his reflection but also that of a woman standing beside him. Her presence suggests a connection between beauty and perception. A cat lounges lazily on top of slippers placed near the edge of the table, adding an element of domesticity to this intimate scene. Meanwhile, a maid attentively observes her mistress from behind as she gazes into another mirror held delicately in her hand. Through intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship, Bosse invites us to ponder upon our own senses and their role in shaping our understanding of reality. This print serves as a reminder that sight is not merely limited to physical vision but encompasses deeper layers of perception and interpretation. As part of The Stapleton Collection within a private collection, this artwork has been preserved over centuries for its artistic brilliance and thought-provoking subject matter. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' commitment to sharing fine art treasures like these through prints, we can now appreciate Bosse's masterful work firsthand.
