Frisius, a significant figure in the development of Dutch printmaking, demonstrates his technical command of the etching needle through the varied textures applied to the foliage and the architectural elements of the castle. The composition follows the conventions of early seventeenth-century Dutch topographical art, where the built environment is integrated into a carefully observed natural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, a couple dressed in contemporary period attire walks along the water, accompanied by a dog. The man carries a lute, suggesting a scene of leisure and courtly life. To the left, the castle structure rises behind a stone bridge, while the water features swans and a small boat, adding activity to the quiet scene. The trees are rendered with a focus on individual leaf patterns and branch structures, reflecting the artist's interest in natural observation. The sky is marked by light hatching, providing a sense of atmosphere without overwhelming the primary subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius was known for his ability to translate the drawings of other artists into print, and this work captures the stylistic nuances of the period. The etching process allows for a degree of spontaneity in the line work, which is visible in the treatment of the bark and the ripples on the water. This print offers a view into the aesthetic preferences of the Dutch Golden Age, where the depiction of country estates and their surrounding gardens became a popular subject for collectors and print enthusiasts alike. The work remains a clear example of the precision and narrative quality inherent in the print culture of the Netherlands during the early 1600s.\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\/poor-peasants-resting-sebastien-bourdon\" 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;\"\u003ePoor Peasants Resting - Sébastien Bourdon — Sébastien Bourdon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-prodigal-son-william-strang\" 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;\"\u003eThe Prodigal Son - William Strang — William Strang\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Frisius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58373368021327,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58373467341135,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58373467373903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58373467406671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58373467439439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58373467472207,"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":58373467504975,"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":58373467537743,"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":58373467570511,"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":58373467603279,"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":58373467636047,"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":58373467668815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Loenersloot-Castle_Poster_CompositorV1_1785751395388.jpg?v=1785753474"},{"product_id":"the-regulierspoort-in-amsterdam-simon-frisius","title":"The Regulierspoort in Amsterdam - Simon Frisius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 17th-century etching by Simon Frisius depicting the historic Regulierspoort gatehouse in Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Simon Frisius depicts the Regulierspoort, a medieval gatehouse that once served as a defensive entry point to Amsterdam. Frisius, a printmaker active in the early 17th century, demonstrates his technical proficiency through the use of varied line weights to define the architectural structure of the gate, the surrounding water, and the small figures populating the foreground. The composition captures the gatehouse with its characteristic towers and drawbridge, set against a backdrop of the city skyline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, the artist includes small boats and figures, providing a sense of scale and daily activity. The water is rendered with horizontal hatching, while the sky features soft, rounded clouds typical of the period's printmaking style. The inclusion of the title, 'D'oude REGULLIERS Poorte t Amsterdam', at the bottom of the plate identifies the subject clearly. This work offers a glimpse into the urban development of Amsterdam before the city's major expansion in the mid-17th century. The Regulierspoort itself was eventually demolished, making such prints valuable records of the city's architectural history. Frisius was known for his ability to translate the nuances of light and texture into the medium of etching, a skill evident in the way he handles the masonry of the gate and the reflections on the water surface.

The composition is dominated by a dense, gnarled forest. The trees are rendered with precise, rhythmic lines that create a sense of claustrophobic enclosure. The twisted trunks and interlocking branches occupy the foreground, drawing the eye toward the small, dark figures of the thieves and their victim tucked away in the lower right corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius was a significant figure in the development of Dutch etching. He was known for his technical skill and his ability to translate the designs of other artists into print. In this work, the design is attributed to Hendrick Hondius, as indicated by the inscription 'Hondius Inventor'. The contrast between the dark, textured forest and the distant, lighter view of a town near a body of water provides a sense of spatial depth. The Latin inscription at the bottom, 'Defcendens Jerofolymâ, fpoliatur et vulneratur', translates to 'Descending from Jerusalem, he is robbed and wounded', providing the narrative context for the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print demonstrates the characteristic approach of early seventeenth-century Dutch printmakers, who often prioritised linear clarity and atmospheric effects. The foliage is treated with a decorative quality, where individual leaves and branches are defined by short, repetitive strokes. This print is part of a series illustrating the parable, showcasing the collaborative nature of print production during this period, where the roles of inventor, etcher, and publisher were distinct.

Frisius, a pioneer of the etching technique in the Netherlands, demonstrates his technical precision through the varied line work used to define the masonry of the gate, the rippling water of the canal, and the atmospheric clouds above. The composition captures the gate in its functional state, complete with a pulley system for goods and a small figure visible in an upper window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the architectural subject, the print provides a glimpse into early seventeenth-century urban life. Figures in period dress occupy the foreground and the canal banks, while the distant skyline features the familiar silhouette of the Zuiderkerk tower. The inclusion of the publisher's mark, N.

This piece offers a glimpse into the daily life and topographical character of the region, preserved through the meticulous application of the etching needle.\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\/poor-peasants-resting-sebastien-bourdon\" 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;\"\u003ePoor Peasants Resting - Sébastien Bourdon — Sébastien Bourdon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/worn-out-horse-paulus-potter\" 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;\"\u003eWorn-out Horse - Paulus Potter — Paulus Potter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Frisius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58376799813967,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58376877900111,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58376877932879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58376877965647,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58376877998415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58376878031183,"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":58376878063951,"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":58376878096719,"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":58376878129487,"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":58376878162255,"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":58376878195023,"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":58376878227791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Houtewael-by-Amsterdam_Poster_CompositorV1_1785775520089.jpg?v=1785781109"},{"product_id":"the-samaritan-arrives-at-the-inn-simon-frisius","title":"The Samaritan Arrives at the Inn - Simon Frisius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century etching by Simon Frisius depicting a scene from the parable of the Good Samaritan, featuring a rural inn and river landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Simon Frisius depicts a scene from the parable of the Good Samaritan. The composition focuses on a rural inn situated near a river, where a traveller arrives on horseback. Frisius, a significant figure in the development of Dutch printmaking, employs precise line work to define the textures of the timber-framed building, the foliage of the trees, and the ripples on the water. The scene is typical of early seventeenth-century Dutch print culture, which often combined biblical narratives with the detailed observation of the local countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist uses a variety of hatching techniques to create depth and shadow, particularly in the dense canopy of the central tree and the shaded areas of the inn. The inclusion of a small boat on the river and distant hills provides a sense of scale and atmosphere. The Latin inscription at the bottom, 'LVC. 10. V. 34.

The print reflects the period's interest in narrative art, where the moral lesson is presented through the lens of everyday life.

The print remains a valuable record of seventeenth-century Dutch engineering and daily life, presented with the clarity and technical skill associated with Frisius's output.\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\/poor-peasants-resting-sebastien-bourdon\" 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;\"\u003ePoor Peasants Resting - Sébastien Bourdon — Sébastien Bourdon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-pissing-cow-paulus-potter\" 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;\"\u003eThe Pissing Cow - Paulus Potter — Paulus Potter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Frisius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58379862901071,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58379876204879,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58379876237647,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58379876270415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58379876303183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58379876335951,"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":58379876368719,"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":58379876401487,"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":58379876434255,"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":58379876467023,"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":58379876499791,"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":58379876532559,"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-Overtoom-bij-Amsterdam_Poster_CompositorV1_1785812587326.jpg?v=1785815435"},{"product_id":"the-mass-of-saint-gregory-simon-frisius","title":"The Mass of Saint Gregory - Simon Frisius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Simon Frisius depicting the miraculous Mass of Saint Gregory, showcasing technical precision and Northern Mannerist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Simon Frisius depicts the legendary Mass of Saint Gregory, a subject popular in Northern European art. The composition centres on the miraculous appearance of Christ as the Man of Sorrows upon the altar during the celebration of the Eucharist. Saint Gregory the Great kneels in prayer, witnessing the apparition, while a group of clergy and attendants observe the scene with varied expressions of reverence and contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius, a Dutch printmaker known for his technical precision, employs a sophisticated use of line to define the architectural space and the heavy folds of ecclesiastical vestments. The scene is constructed with a clear sense of depth, drawing the eye from the foreground figures toward the altar where the supernatural event occurs. The inclusion of Latin and Dutch inscriptions at the base provides a didactic element, common in prints of this period, which served to guide the viewer through the theological narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistically, the work reflects the influence of Jan Gossaert, whose original composition is referenced in the plate.

The lighting is carefully managed, with candles providing a source of illumination that casts shadows across the stone floor and highlights the figures. The architectural setting, featuring arched windows and classical columns, anchors the miraculous event within a recognisable, albeit idealised, ecclesiastical interior.

The composition is dominated by a large, gnarled tree in the foreground, which acts as a vertical anchor for the eye. Beneath its branches, a group of figures gathers, while in the middle distance, a lone figure walks across a ploughed field, representing the sower from the New Testament parable. The background features a collection of modest cottages and farm buildings, typical of the Dutch countryside during the early seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius was a significant figure in the development of Dutch printmaking. He is recognised for his technical skill in etching, a medium that allowed for a more fluid and spontaneous line than the traditional copperplate engraving. His work often reflects the transition from the mannerist style of the late sixteenth century toward the more naturalistic observations that defined the Dutch Golden Age. The treatment of the foliage, with its dense, swirling patterns, demonstrates his ability to create texture and depth through varied hatching techniques. The sky is rendered with horizontal strokes that suggest movement and atmospheric conditions, providing a sense of scale to the rural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print serves as an example of how biblical themes were integrated into the everyday surroundings of the Dutch Republic. Rather than placing the narrative in a distant, exotic location, Frisius situates the parable within a familiar, local environment. This approach made the subject matter accessible to contemporary viewers. The inclusion of the inscription 'Luce 8.5' refers to the Gospel of Luke, confirming the specific source of the imagery.

Frisius, a Dutch printmaker known for his technical precision, employs a rigorous system of hatching and cross-hatching to define the muscular anatomy of the hero and the agitated forms of the horses.

Frisius was instrumental in the development of etching techniques during the early seventeenth century, often working after designs by other artists or creating original compositions that reflected the dramatic sensibilities of the period. His work demonstrates a clear mastery of line, allowing for a high degree of detail in the musculature and the textures of the animals. This print is a characteristic example of the period's interest in classical mythology, rendered with the stylistic flourishes typical of Northern Mannerist graphic arts.

The composition captures the moment of flight, with the centaur galloping across the foreground while Deianira gestures in distress. In the background, Heracles prepares to strike with his bow, adding a sense of impending conflict to the scene. Frisius, a Dutch printmaker known for his technical precision, employs a clear, linear style that reflects the influence of Hendrick Goltzius.

Simon Frisius, a Dutch printmaker known for his technical precision, executed this work after a design by Antonio Tempesta.

The scene is populated with architectural elements, including a central rotunda that recalls Italian Renaissance structures, suggesting a synthesis of Mediterranean influence and the Dutch interest in topographical and imaginary views. Above, the figure of Aquarius pours water from two vessels, providing the astrological context for the month. The etching technique allows for a variety of textures, from the rough, hatched surfaces of the rocky terrain to the delicate lines defining the distant bridge and city structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius was instrumental in the development of etching as a medium in the Netherlands, often collaborating with publishers such as Hendrick Hondius, whose name appears on the plate.

The inclusion of classical ruins alongside contemporary figures creates a sense of timelessness, typical of the Mannerist and early Baroque sensibilities prevalent in the early 17th century. The print serves as a record of the era's printmaking practices, where the division of labour between the inventor of the design and the etcher was standard.

The scene is drawn from the Batavian rebellion against Roman authority, a subject that held particular resonance for the Dutch during the early seventeenth century as they sought to define their own national identity through historical parallels. Frisius, a skilled printmaker, employs precise line work to define the musculature of the figures and the textures of their garments. The composition is structured around the central figure of Brinio, who stands atop the shield held by two men, while a crowd gathers below. To the right, a figure stands in profile, observing the event, which adds a sense of depth and narrative focus to the scene. The background features a simple tree line, keeping the attention on the human interaction and the ritualistic nature of the elevation. The etching technique allows for a high degree of detail in the faces and the folds of the clothing, demonstrating the technical proficiency common in Dutch printmaking of the period. This work was produced as an illustration for a larger historical text, as indicated by the pagination at the bottom of the plate. The style reflects the influence of Northern Mannerism, particularly in the elongated proportions and the expressive, somewhat theatrical poses of the participants.

It remains a valuable piece for those interested in the history of Amsterdam and the development of Dutch printmaking techniques during the early modern era.\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\/poor-peasants-resting-sebastien-bourdon\" 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;\"\u003ePoor Peasants Resting - Sébastien Bourdon — Sébastien Bourdon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sir-charles-holroyd-william-strang\" 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;\"\u003eSir Charles Holroyd - William Strang — William Strang\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon Frisius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403750773071,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403759817039,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403759849807,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58403759882575,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58403759915343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58403759948111,"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":58403759980879,"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":58403760013647,"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":58403760046415,"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":58403760079183,"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":58403760111951,"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":58403760144719,"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-Houtewael-bij-Amsterdam_Poster_CompositorV1_1786044815314.jpg?v=1786047134"},{"product_id":"cartouche-with-garlands-and-figures-simon-frisius","title":"Cartouche with Garlands and Figures - Simon Frisius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed Dutch Mannerist etching by Simon Frisius, featuring an elaborate cartouche surrounded by allegorical figures and fruit garlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Simon Frisius represents the highly decorative tradition of Dutch Mannerist printmaking. The composition centres on a large, elaborate cartouche, a form that gained popularity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as a frame for title pages, maps, or portraits. The central space is reserved for text, framed by scrolling leather-like forms that curl and fold with a sense of artificiality characteristic of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrisius populates the surrounding space with allegorical figures. At the top, a winged figure holds a caduceus and an open book, while flanking figures stand upon the lower scrolls. The composition is further embellished with swags of fruit and foliage, which hang from the sides, adding a sense of weight and texture to the otherwise linear design. The inclusion of a cherubic head at the base, from which ribbons flow, demonstrates the artist's technical precision in handling complex, overlapping forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a master of the etching needle, Frisius utilised varying line weights to define the contours of the figures and the depth of the cartouche. The cross-hatching in the background areas provides a subtle contrast to the lighter, more delicate lines of the figures, ensuring the central text area remains the primary focus. This work was produced in the workshop of Henricus Hondius, a centre for cartographic and ornamental publishing in The Hague. Such prints were often used as frontispieces for collections of portraits or scholarly volumes, reflecting the intellectual climate of the Dutch Republic. The balance between the rigid, architectural nature of the cartouche and the fluid, organic elements of the garlands demonstrates the technical skill required to execute such ornamental designs during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Frisius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403801497935,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403966452047,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58403966484815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58403966517583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58403966550351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58403966583119,"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":58403966615887,"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":58403966648655,"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":58403966681423,"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":58403966714191,"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":58403966746959,"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":58403966779727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Cartouche-with-Garlands-and-Figures_Poster_CompositorV1_1786047157836.jpg?v=1786047789"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-adriaen-de-vries-simon-frisius","title":"Portrait of Adriaen de Vries - Simon Frisius","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Simon Frisius portraying the sculptor Adriaen de Vries, complete with Latin inscription and classical architectural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Simon Frisius depicts the sculptor Adriaen de Vries, a figure of significant standing in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Frisius, a pioneer of the etching technique in the Netherlands, employs a precise linear style to capture the likeness of his subject. De Vries is shown in a three-quarter view, wearing a ruff and a doublet, holding a small statuette that references his own profession as a sculptor of bronze figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background provides a glimpse into an architectural setting, featuring a fountain and classical structures, which situates the sitter within a humanist context. The inclusion of Latin text at the base of the print serves to identify the subject and offers a poetic tribute to his skill, comparing his work to that of the ancient Greek sculptor Myron. This format is characteristic of the portrait series produced during this era, intended to document the lives and appearances of notable artists and intellectuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work demonstrates the control Frisius exerted over the etching needle. The hatching patterns create volume in the drapery of the clothing and the musculature of the small figure held by the sculptor. The composition balances the portrait of the individual with the symbolic representation of his craft. As a document of the period, this print provides insight into how artists were perceived and how they chose to present themselves to their contemporaries.
