Bervic, a master of the burin, translates the dramatic tension of the original stone into a precise, monochromatic medium. The composition captures the Trojan priest and his two sons in their final struggle against the sea serpents sent by the gods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic employs a rigorous system of cross-hatching and parallel lines to model the musculature of the figures. The technique mimics the smooth, polished surface of marble, while the deep shadows within the alcove provide a sense of spatial depth. The artist focuses on the anatomical accuracy of the figures, reflecting the Neoclassical interest in the clarity and order of antiquity. Every muscle fibre and serpentine coil is rendered with technical discipline, demonstrating the high level of skill required for large-scale copperplate engraving during the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is a reproduction of the sculpture as it appeared in the Louvre, following its removal from Rome during the Napoleonic era. Bervic was a member of the Institut Impérial de France, and his work was often commissioned to document the treasures held within the national collections. The print maintains a formal, academic quality, prioritising the structural integrity of the figures over atmospheric effects. It provides a clear, detailed view of the sculpture, allowing for an examination of the composition from a fixed, frontal perspective. The work remains a technical reference for the capabilities of the burin in the hands of a skilled practitioner, capturing the pathos of the original subject through controlled, rhythmic lines.\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\/noli-me-tangere-raphael-morghen\" 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;\"\u003eNoli me tangere - Raphael Morghen — Raffaello Sanzio Morghen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/twee-gedenkpenningen-op-de-beurs-van-hendrik-de-keyser-te-amsterdam-jan-dam-steuerwald\" 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;\"\u003eTwee gedenkpenningen op de Beurs van Hendrik de Keyser te Amsterdam - Jan Dam Steuerwald — Jan Dam Steuerwald\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Clément Bervic","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644745617743,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644809908559,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644809941327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58644809974095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58644810006863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58644810039631,"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":58644810072399,"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":58644810105167,"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":58644810137935,"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":58644810170703,"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":58644810203471,"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":58644810236239,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Laoco-n_Poster_CompositorV1_1788353659297.jpg?v=1788354232"},{"product_id":"the-education-of-achilles-charles-clement-bervic","title":"The Education of Achilles - Charles Clément Bervic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterful Neoclassical engraving by Charles Clément Bervic, depicting the centaur Chiron teaching the young Achilles the art of archery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Charles Clément Bervic depicts the mythological scene of the centaur Chiron instructing the young Achilles in the art of archery. Based on an original painting by Jean-Baptiste Regnault, the work captures the pedagogical relationship between the wise mentor and his pupil. Chiron, depicted with a powerful equine body and a human torso, stands behind the youth, guiding his arms as he draws the bowstring. Achilles, rendered with the idealised proportions typical of the Neoclassical period, focuses intently on his target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around the diagonal tension of the bow and the contrasting forms of the two figures. Bervic employs a sophisticated range of tonal values, using dense cross-hatching to define the musculature of the centaur and the softer, more delicate shading on the skin of the young hero. The background features a rugged, rocky terrain, while a lyre lies discarded in the foreground, suggesting a shift from the arts of music to the rigours of martial training. A lion rests near the feet of Achilles, adding a sense of wild nature to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic was a master of the burin, and this print demonstrates his technical precision in translating the painterly qualities of Regnault into the medium of engraving. The work reflects the late eighteenth-century interest in classical antiquity, where themes of education, discipline, and heroic development were frequently explored in visual arts. The clarity of the line work and the balanced arrangement of the figures are characteristic of the period's preference for order and anatomical accuracy.

Bervic, a master of the burin, produced this work after the original painting by Guido Reni, which was held in the collection of the Louvre. The composition captures the moment Nessus attempts to cross the river Evenus with Deianira, the wife of Heracles, held firmly in his grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic demonstrates technical precision in his handling of the copper plate. The musculature of the centaur is rendered with anatomical accuracy, while the drapery surrounding Deianira exhibits a fluid, rhythmic quality. The artist employs a range of line weights to define the textures of the centaur's equine body, the human torso, and the billowing fabric. The background features a muted, atmospheric treatment of the riverbank and sky, which directs the viewer's attention to the central struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the distance, a small figure of Heracles is visible, observing the abduction from the opposite bank. This detail provides narrative context to the scene. The engraving reflects the high standards of French printmaking during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, where the reproduction of master paintings was a primary method for disseminating art historical knowledge. Bervic's ability to translate the tonal values of Reni's oil painting into the monochromatic language of engraving is evident in the subtle transitions of light and shadow across the figures.

This inclusion of text and iconography provides a clear identification of the sitter, typical of official portrait prints intended for circulation among the elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic was highly regarded for his ability to translate the nuances of painting into the medium of engraving. His work on this portrait shows a clear understanding of light and shadow, which gives the figure a lifelike presence. The print serves as a record of the political figures of the Ancien Régime, captured just before the onset of the French Revolution. The clarity of the line work and the disciplined approach to form are characteristic of the Neoclassical style, which favoured order and restraint.

The work depicts a young, semi-nude figure standing in a wooded setting, holding a dove against their chest while offering a morsel to a snake. This composition draws upon traditional allegorical motifs, contrasting the purity of the bird with the perceived danger of the serpent. The figure stands near a pool of water, their form rendered with the precise anatomical clarity typical of late eighteenth-century French printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic was highly regarded for his technical control, particularly his ability to translate the tonal qualities of oil painting into the linear language of engraving.

It remains a representative example of the skill required in the pre-photographic era to document and interpret the works of the great masters for study and collection.\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\/twee-gedenkpenningen-op-de-beurs-van-zocher-te-amsterdam-jan-dam-steuerwald\" 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;\"\u003eTwee gedenkpenningen op de Beurs van Zocher te Amsterdam - Jan Dam Steuerwald — Jan Dam Steuerwald\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-jean-joseph-moyzen-ambroise-tardieu\" 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;\"\u003ePortret van Jean Joseph Moyzen - Ambroise Tardieu — Ambroise Tardieu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Clément Bervic","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645808742735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645841412431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645841445199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58645841477967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58645841510735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58645841543503,"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":58645841576271,"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":58645841609039,"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":58645841641807,"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":58645841674575,"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":58645841707343,"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":58645841740111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-John-in-the-Desert_Poster_CompositorV1_1788357305409.jpg?v=1788357940"},{"product_id":"louis-xvi-after-antoine-francois-callet-charles-clement-bervic","title":"Louis XVI (After Antoine-François Callet) - Charles Clément Bervic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine engraving of King Louis XVI by Charles Clément Bervic, based on the 1790 portrait by Antoine-François Callet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print reproduces the celebrated portrait of King Louis XVI, originally painted by Antoine-François Callet and subsequently rendered into a masterful engraving by Charles Clément Bervic in 1790. Bervic, a highly skilled practitioner of the burin, was recognised for his technical precision and his ability to translate the nuances of oil painting into the monochromatic language of copperplate engraving. The original portrait depicts the monarch in his full royal regalia, capturing the formalised dignity expected of the French court during the final years of the Ancien Régime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of state portraiture, presenting the King in a three-quarter view. His expression is composed, and his attire, including the ermine-trimmed mantle, signifies his sovereign status. Bervic’s engraving technique is particularly notable for its controlled line work, which creates subtle gradations of tone across the fabric and the facial features of the subject. The print serves as a historical document, reflecting the visual culture of the late eighteenth century and the specific iconography associated with the Bourbon monarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is presented within the context of a nineteenth-century publication, 'La Vérité sur la fuite et l'arrestation de Louis XVI à Varennes' by E.-A. Ancelon, published in Paris in 1866. The inclusion of this engraving in a historical study demonstrates the enduring interest in the image of the King long after the French Revolution. The print retains the formal qualities of the original 1790 engraving, offering a window into the artistic standards of the period. It is a work of historical interest for those studying the intersection of portraiture, political history, and the craft of printmaking in France.\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\/twee-gedenkpenningen-op-de-beurs-van-zocher-te-amsterdam-jan-dam-steuerwald\" 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;\"\u003eTwee gedenkpenningen op de Beurs van Zocher te Amsterdam - Jan Dam Steuerwald — Jan Dam Steuerwald\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-louis-perreau-du-magne-ambroise-tardieu\" 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;\"\u003ePortret van Louis Perreau du Magné - Ambroise Tardieu — Ambroise Tardieu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Clément Bervic","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645921726799,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645940666703,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58645940699471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58645940732239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58645940765007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58645940797775,"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":58645940830543,"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":58645940863311,"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":58645940896079,"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":58645940928847,"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":58645940961615,"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":58645940994383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Louis-XVI-After-Antoine-Fran-ois-Callet-_Poster_CompositorV1_1788358430215.jpg?v=1788358807"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/charles-clement-bervic.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
