Anthonie van den Bos

Anthonie van den Bos was an artist whose documented professional activity spanned a brief but productive period from 1773 to 1778. His output consisted primarily of graphic works, with three drawings and twelve prints currently represented in major museum collections.

The works held in institutional archives demonstrate a versatility that encompassed portraiture, landscape, and genre subjects. His capacity for detailed documentation is evident in works such as Gezicht op het Kerkpad, a topographical view, while his skill in portraiture is established by the formal pieces Portret van Jacoba Petronella Nevis van Schooten and Portret van Jan Evert Grave. Other works, like Bellenblazende putti and the etching Bergachtig landschap, expand the subject matter of his prints.

The majority of documented works are held by the Rijksmuseum, solidifying the importance of his historical output. Because of this strong representation in institutional holdings, many of the existing Anthonie van den Bos prints and documents are now accessible in the public domain. This ensures that museum-quality representations of his late eighteenth-century work, often available as high-quality prints, remain vital research material for scholars.
