His work often appeared in historical and geographical publications, serving as a visual record for contemporary readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition focuses on the exterior of the Stadhuis, capturing the building's distinct gothic features, including its stepped gables, arched windows, and central clock tower. The artist employs precise line work to define the masonry and structural details of the facade. Small figures populate the foreground, providing a sense of scale and daily activity within the town square. These individuals are rendered with minimal detail, allowing the architecture to remain the primary subject of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the print demonstrates the clarity and control characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century Dutch engraving.

Jan Caspar Philips, a Dutch engraver active in Amsterdam during the eighteenth century, executed this work with the precision characteristic of the period. The subject is presented within an oval frame, a common convention for formal portraiture of the era, which draws attention to the sitter's features and clerical attire. Knibbe is shown in a three-quarter view, wearing the traditional bands and dark robes associated with the Dutch Reformed ministry. His expression is composed, and his posture suggests a sense of authority and intellectual engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the sitter, a classical column and a distant architectural structure provide a sense of depth and setting. The lower portion of the print features a rectangular cartouche containing Latin text, which identifies the sitter, his age, and his service in various parishes, including Singerhorne, Purmerend, and Leiden. The inclusion of such detailed biographical information was standard for commemorative prints of clergymen, serving to document their professional tenure and theological contributions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilips utilised a refined technique of hatching and cross-hatching to create tonal variations, particularly in the rendering of the fabric and the subtle shadows of the face. The lines are controlled and deliberate, reflecting the technical discipline required for copperplate engraving. This print offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the Dutch Republic, where portraiture functioned as a means of recording the appearance and status of public figures.

The print depicts a group of Khoikhoi people engaged in the daily task of milking cattle, a scene intended for European audiences curious about the customs of Southern Africa.

The scene captures two figures in elaborate masquerade costumes, likely representing the traditional characters of the carnival season. One figure wears a jester-like hood with bells, while the other is dressed in a patterned, diamond-checkered outfit reminiscent of Harlequin. They stand in a town square, with a classical building featuring a balcony and columns visible to the right. In the background, other masked figures participate in the revelry, while the architecture suggests a typical Dutch urban setting of the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilips employs a precise etching technique to define the textures of the costumes and the masonry of the buildings. The cross-hatching provides depth to the shadows, while the clear, linear style typical of Dutch printmaking during this period ensures that the narrative elements remain legible. Below the image, a bilingual inscription in Dutch and French provides context for the scene, noting that while people revel in masks during the carnival, they return to a more sober state by Ash Wednesday. This work offers a glimpse into the social customs and seasonal celebrations of the era, documenting the public nature of carnival traditions in the Netherlands. The composition is balanced, with the two central figures drawing the eye, while the surrounding crowd and architectural details provide a sense of place and atmosphere.

As a Dutch engraver active during the eighteenth century, Philips produced works that often documented the seasonal rhythms of life.

The clear, measured approach to the subject matter reflects the technical standards of Dutch print production during the mid-eighteenth century, where clarity of form and narrative legibility were highly valued.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491344748879,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491359822159,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491359854927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491359887695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491359920463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491359953231,"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":58491359985999,"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":58491360018767,"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":58491360051535,"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":58491360084303,"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":58491360117071,"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":58491360149839,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/November_-de-slacht_Poster_CompositorV1_1786377631335.jpg?v=1786921451"},{"product_id":"cartouche-met-de-hemelvaart-van-christus-jan-caspar-philips","title":"Cartouche met de hemelvaart van Christus - Jan Caspar Philips","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicting the Ascension of Christ, framed within an ornate rocaille cartouche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicts the Ascension of Christ, framed within an elaborate rocaille cartouche. Philips, a Dutch engraver active in the eighteenth century, demonstrates technical precision in his handling of the burin and etching needle. The central scene shows the disciples gathered on a hillside, their figures directed upward toward the vanishing form of Christ, who is partially obscured by clouds. Rays of light descend from the heavens, illuminating the landscape and the figures below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding cartouche is a characteristic example of the decorative style prevalent during the period. It features scrolling foliage, shell-like motifs, and winged cherub heads at the sides. An eagle, often symbolic of divine vision or the Resurrection, sits atop the frame. The contrast between the narrative scene and the ornamental border creates a sense of depth and structure. Philips uses varied line weights to define the textures of the clouds, the drapery of the garments, and the rigid, metallic quality of the frame itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch prints were frequently produced for inclusion in religious texts, devotional books, or as standalone decorative sheets for collectors. The composition balances the dramatic movement of the biblical event with the static, balanced nature of the frame. The work reflects the Dutch tradition of printmaking, where clarity of line and attention to detail remained paramount. By isolating the scene within a defined border, the artist invites the viewer to focus on the narrative while appreciating the craftsmanship of the decorative surround.

The composition depicts an interior setting where figures gather around a table laden with traditional treats and small figurines. The artist employs precise cross-hatching to define the textures of the clothing, the heavy curtains, and the wooden furniture, creating a sense of depth within the room. A large wardrobe stands to the left, while a mirror hangs at an angle on the wall, reflecting the light from the windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilips, a Dutch engraver active in the eighteenth century, was known for his technical skill in reproducing scenes of daily life and architectural subjects. This work belongs to a series illustrating the months of the year, a common theme in European printmaking. The inclusion of bilingual text in Dutch and French at the bottom of the print provides context for the celebration, noting the joy of children receiving sweets from Saint Nicholas. The figures are rendered with a focus on their interaction with the festive objects, reflecting the social customs of the period. The print demonstrates the characteristic clarity of Dutch etching from this era, where the artist balances the representation of human activity with the structural elements of the home. The scene offers a glimpse into the material culture of the eighteenth-century Netherlands, specifically the types of confectioneries and toys that were popular during the winter festivities.

This work provides insight into the didactic nature of religious art in the Netherlands during the mid-eighteenth century, where print culture played a role in disseminating moral and religious instruction to a wider audience. The print is a fine example of the period's preference for structured, symbolic imagery that rewards careful observation.\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-charles-i-of-england-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 Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" 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;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491390460239,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491393605967,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491393638735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491393671503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491393704271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491393737039,"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":58491393769807,"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":58491393802575,"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":58491393835343,"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":58491393868111,"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":58491393900879,"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":58491393933647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Cartouche-met-Geloof-en-Liefde-bij-de-tien-geboden_Poster_CompositorV1_1786378448257.jpg?v=1786922146"},{"product_id":"cartouche-met-graftombe-in-een-landschap-jan-caspar-philips","title":"Cartouche met graftombe in een landschap - Jan Caspar Philips","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1728 Dutch etching by Jan Caspar Philips featuring an allegorical scene of mourning and mortality within an ornate cartouche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by the Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips, dated 1728, presents a complex allegorical composition centred on themes of mortality and remembrance. The central octagonal panel depicts two mourning figures beside a tombstone, set within a wooded environment.

These smaller panels explore human activities and philosophical concepts, such as the passage of time, scholarly pursuits, and religious or mythological encounters. At the very top, a skull and crossed scythes serve as a memento mori, a common motif in the period to remind the viewer of the inevitability of death.

The clarity of the lines and the attention to structural detail make this an informative piece for those interested in historical Dutch architecture and the development of topographical printmaking.\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\/duinlandschap-bij-haarlem-carel-nicolaas-storm-van-s-gravesande\" 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;\"\u003eDuinlandschap bij Haarlem - Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande — Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/simon-of-cyrene-helps-christ-carry-the-cross-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" 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;\"\u003eSimon of Cyrene Helps Christ Carry the Cross - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491426636111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491436400975,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491436433743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491436466511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491436499279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491436532047,"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":58491436564815,"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":58491436597583,"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":58491436630351,"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":58491436663119,"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":58491436695887,"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":58491436728655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gezicht-op-het-stadhuis-van-Zierikzee_Poster_CompositorV1_1786379426624.jpg?v=1786922843"},{"product_id":"gezicht-op-rhenen-jan-caspar-philips","title":"Gezicht op Rhenen - Jan Caspar Philips","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Jan Caspar Philips, capturing a panoramic view of the Dutch town of Rhenen from across the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicts the Dutch town of Rhenen, viewed from across the river.

The composition captures the expansive rural environment of the Low Countries, with the distant town and church spires providing a clear destination for the pilgrims. In the foreground, the artist focuses on the devotional aspect of the journey: a group of figures kneels before a statue of the Virgin and Child, which is mounted upon a tree. The Latin inscription on the pedestal, 'Ego diligentes me diligo', reinforces the spiritual nature of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilips employs precise line work to differentiate the textures of the foliage, the architectural forms of the distant town, and the varied garments of the procession participants. The use of cross-hatching creates depth in the sky and shadows, while the open space of the fields provides a sense of scale. The inclusion of a windmill on the left edge serves as a characteristic element of the Dutch and Flemish topographical tradition, grounding the religious subject in a recognisable regional setting.

It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Dutch town planning and architectural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491522810191,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491526545743,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491526578511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491526611279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491526644047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491526676815,"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":58491526709583,"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":58491526742351,"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":58491526775119,"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":58491526807887,"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":58491526840655,"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":58491526873423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gezicht-op-de-Grote-Kerk-en-het-Oude-Stadhuis-aan-de-Markt-te-Vlaardingen_Poster_CompositorV1_1786382049025.jpg?v=1786924640"},{"product_id":"gezicht-op-de-noordmonsterkerk-te-middelburg-jan-caspar-philips","title":"Gezicht op de Noordmonsterkerk te Middelburg - Jan Caspar Philips","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1743 etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicting the Noordmonsterkerk in Middelburg, capturing the architectural character of the Dutch city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis precise etching by Jan Caspar Philips documents the Noordmonsterkerk in Middelburg as it appeared in 1743. Philips, a Dutch engraver active during the eighteenth century, specialised in topographical views that captured the urban character of the Netherlands. His work provides a clear record of the architectural vernacular of the period, documenting the specific masonry, rooflines, and church towers that defined the city skyline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition employs a measured perspective, typical of eighteenth-century printmaking, to balance the monumental scale of the church against the domestic architecture of the surrounding square. Philips uses a variety of line weights to distinguish between the rough texture of the stone church and the smoother surfaces of the adjacent townhouses. Small figures populate the foreground, providing a sense of scale and daily life within the city. The sky is rendered with delicate, parallel hatching, a technique that creates a sense of atmosphere without distracting from the primary architectural subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a historical document, the print offers insight into the urban planning and aesthetic priorities of the mid-eighteenth century. The Noordmonsterkerk, which no longer exists in its original form, is captured here with a high degree of technical accuracy. The print reflects the period's interest in documenting regional history and civic pride through the medium of the copperplate engraving. Collectors of topographical art will appreciate the clarity of the line work and the disciplined approach to spatial representation. This print is a fine example of the Dutch tradition of recording the built environment, preserving the appearance of Middelburg for future study.\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-charles-i-of-england-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 Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" 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;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491604926799,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491606925647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491606958415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491606991183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491607023951,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491607056719,"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":58491607089487,"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":58491607122255,"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":58491607155023,"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":58491607187791,"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":58491607220559,"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":58491607253327,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gezicht-op-de-Noordmonsterkerk-te-Middelburg_Poster_CompositorV1_1786381568883.jpg?v=1786926586"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/jan-caspar-philips.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
