Zenobia, the Powerful Queen of Syria, depicted in a captivating 17th-century print by Abraham Bosse
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This striking black and white illustration transports us back to the 17th century, showcasing Zenobia, an iconic figure from history. Created by French artist Abraham Bosse as part of his renowned series La Gallerie des femmes fortes (Gallery of Strong Women), this etching captures the essence of Zenobia's strength and regal presence. Dressed in exquisite attire that reflects her royal status, Zenobia stands tall in full-length fashion. Her elaborate gown is adorned with intricate details and feathers from majestic ostriches. A helmet rests gracefully on her head while she confidently gestures with one hand, commanding attention and respect. As queen of Syria during a time marked by war and conflict, Zenobia was known for her strategic brilliance on the battlefield. With a spear held firmly at her side, she symbolizes both power and grace as a female leader in a male-dominated world. Bosse's meticulous craftsmanship brings out every nuance of this historical icon's character. The print showcases not only his artistic talent but also serves as a testament to Zenobia's enduring legacy. Now housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both Bosse's artistry and the indomitable spirit embodied by Queen Zenobia herself.
