This fine art print brings historical grandeur and intense emotion to any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez's monumental canvas, *The Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem*, stands as a powerful example of 19th-century Romantic history painting. Completed in 1867, the work depicts the dramatic climax of the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD, when Roman legions under Titus breached the city walls and set fire to the Second Temple. Hayez masterfully captures the chaos and carnage of the event, with figures clambering over walls, battling amidst the flames, and succumbing to the violence. The composition is carefully constructed to convey a sense of overwhelming scale and emotional intensity. The cool blues of the sky contrast sharply with the fiery reds and oranges engulfing the temple, heightening the drama. \n\nHayez, a leading figure in Italian Romanticism, was known for his ability to imbue historical subjects with contemporary political resonance. This painting, while depicting an event from antiquity, also spoke to the Risorgimento, the 19th-century movement for Italian unification and independence. As a fine art print, this work brings a sense of historical grandeur and dramatic flair to any space. Its rich colours and dynamic composition make it a captivating centrepiece for a living room, study, or hallway, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of conflict, resilience, and the enduring power of history.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-meeting-of-anthony-and-cleopatra-giovanni-battista-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;\"\u003eThe Meeting of Anthony and Cleopatra by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-surrender-of-breda-diego-velazquez\" 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 Surrender of Breda by Diego Velázquez\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991061639503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991061705039,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991061737807,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991061836111,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991061868879,"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":56991061901647,"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":56991061967183,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991061999951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991062032719,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":56991062065487,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991062131023,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991062163791,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991062229327,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991062262095,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991062294863,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991062327631,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991062393167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_b4b7b4a0-b9c4-42f0-bbd5-2480fe7b90bb-q80.jpg?v=1792356432"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-a-man-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of a Man - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA portrait attributed to Francesco Hayez, an Italian Romantic painter, depicts a man in early 19th-century attire, showcasing Hayez's skill in realism and character portrayal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis portrait, attributed to Francesco Hayez (1791-1882), exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects.

Hayez was known for his technical precision and his ability to capture the social standing of the Milanese aristocracy. In this work, the subject is depicted in a seated pose, wearing a dark, voluminous gown that contrasts with the delicate lace detailing of her shawl and head covering. The composition follows the conventions of mid-century portraiture, where the sitter is presented with a sense of composure and restraint.\n\nThe artist employs a muted colour palette, focusing on the interplay between the deep tones of the fabric and the soft, diffused light on the subject's face. Hayez demonstrates his skill in rendering textures, particularly the contrast between the heavy, structured silk of the skirt and the fine, semi-transparent lace. The background remains dark and indistinct, which directs the viewer's attention entirely to the sitter. This approach reflects the artist's focus on individual characterisation rather than elaborate environmental storytelling.\n\nHayez was a master of the academic tradition, having studied in Venice and Rome before settling in Milan. His work often bridges the gap between Neoclassical clarity and the emotional depth associated with Romanticism. This portrait is a clear example of his refined approach to commissioned works, where the objective was to convey the dignity and status of the patron through careful observation and balanced composition.

Hayez, who later became a central figure in Italian Romanticism, demonstrates here a disciplined approach to composition and light. The painting depicts a group of figures arranged in a tight, pyramidal structure, a common device in Neoclassical portraiture to create stability and focus.\n\nThe figures are rendered with a focus on naturalistic detail, from the textures of the clothing to the subtle expressions on the faces of the children and adults. The lighting is directional, casting soft shadows that define the forms of the sitters against a darkened, indistinct background. This technique draws the viewer's attention to the interactions between the family members, particularly the gesture of the seated woman pointing towards the child on the floor. The inclusion of a birdcage in the lower right corner adds a narrative element, suggesting a domestic setting where the boundaries between the private lives of the subjects and the viewer are carefully maintained.\n\nHayez was trained in Venice and later Rome, where he absorbed the influence of Antonio Canova and the prevailing academic standards of the time. This portrait reflects that rigorous training, showing a clear understanding of anatomy and spatial organisation. While it lacks the dramatic emotional intensity of his later historical paintings, it provides a clear view into his technical development. The palette is restrained, relying on earthy tones and muted blues to maintain a sense of decorum and seriousness. The work serves as an example of the transition from the strictures of the eighteenth-century tradition toward the more expressive modes that would define the nineteenth-century Italian art scene.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/johann-gottfried-schadow-with-his-family-johann-gottfried-schadow\" 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;\"\u003eJohann Gottfried Schadow with his Family by Johann Gottfried Schadow\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/my-family-first-stone-george-bellows\" 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;\"\u003eMy Family, First Stone by George Bellows\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234327859535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234327925071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234327957839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234328056143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234328088911,"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":58234328121679,"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":58234328187215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234328219983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234328252751,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234328285519,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234328351055,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234328383823,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234328449359,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234328482127,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234329006415,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234329039183,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234329104719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Family-Portrait_Poster_CompositorV1_1782607927458-q80.jpg?v=1792963837"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-cristina-di-belgiojoso-trivulzio-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of Cristina di Belgiojoso Trivulzio - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking 1832 portrait by Francesco Hayez depicting the intellectual and patriot Cristina di Belgiojoso Trivulzio in a dramatic, high-contrast composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a leading figure of Italian Romanticism, painted this portrait of the Princess Cristina di Belgiojoso Trivulzio in 1832. The subject was a notable intellectual and patriot, known for her involvement in the Italian Risorgimento. Hayez captures her with a sense of poise, seated in a dark, atmospheric interior that draws focus to her pale complexion and the stark contrast of her black attire.\n\nThe composition is structured around the interplay between the living subject and a classical bust placed to her left. This inclusion of sculpture suggests a dialogue between the modern individual and the ideals of antiquity, a common motif in the period. The princess is depicted with a hand resting near her collar, a gesture that adds a layer of psychological depth to the presentation. Her gaze is directed toward the viewer, conveying a sense of direct engagement.\n\nHayez employs a restrained palette, dominated by deep shadows and the luminous quality of the sitter's skin. The lighting is focused, creating a dramatic effect that separates the figure from the background. The brushwork is precise, allowing for the rendering of textures such as the fabric of her dress and the metallic sheen of her jewellery. This work reflects the artist's ability to combine technical accuracy with the emotional weight characteristic of his portraiture. The painting remains a clear example of the high-status portrait style prevalent in early nineteenth-century Milanese circles, where the artist was active for much of his career.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/marchesa-brigida-spinola-doria-peter-paul-rubens\" 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;\"\u003eMarchesa Brigida Spinola Doria by Peter Paul Rubens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-a-woman-called-the-marchesa-durazzo-anthony-van-dyck-1\" 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 a Woman, Called the Marchesa Durazzo by Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234321437007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234321502543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234321535311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234321633615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234321666383,"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":58234321699151,"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":58234321764687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234321797455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234321830223,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234321862991,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234321928527,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234321961295,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234322026831,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234322059599,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234322583887,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234322616655,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234322682191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Cristina-di-Belgiojoso-Trivulzio_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608047541-q80.jpg?v=1792411323"},{"product_id":"the-kiss-francesco-hayez","title":"The Kiss - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Romantic painting by Francesco Hayez, depicting a couple in a secret, intimate embrace on a stone staircase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez completed this work in 1859, during a period of significant political change in Italy. The painting depicts a couple in a tight embrace, positioned at the top of a stone staircase. The man, dressed in a brown cloak and red hose, leans over the woman, who wears a shimmering blue dress. Their faces are obscured by the angle of their embrace, which draws attention to the physical tension and the urgency of the moment.\n\nHayez was a leading figure in the Italian Romantic movement. He often used historical settings to convey contemporary political themes. The figures are dressed in medieval-style clothing, yet the composition reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-nineteenth century. The play of light on the woman's silk dress and the shadows cast against the stone wall demonstrate the technical precision characteristic of his work. The setting is sparse, focusing the viewer entirely on the interaction between the two figures. A shadow visible in the background suggests a third person, adding a sense of secrecy or danger to the scene.\n\nThis painting is widely recognised for its emotional clarity and technical execution. It captures a fleeting moment of intimacy, removed from the specificities of a narrative context. The use of colour is deliberate, with the cool blue of the dress contrasting against the warm brown and red tones of the man's attire. The composition is balanced, with the verticality of the architecture providing a stable frame for the dynamic movement of the couple.

The scene depicts a group of women gathered in a secluded, wooded area, their figures illuminated against the deep shadows of the forest. Hayez employs a chiaroscuro technique, where the stark contrast between the pale skin of the figures and the dark, atmospheric background draws the eye to the central cluster of bathers.\n\nThe arrangement of the figures is carefully considered, creating a sense of quiet intimacy. Some women are draped in white linens, while others remain partially unclothed, their postures relaxed and naturalistic. The artist avoids excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the subtle interplay of fabric folds and the soft modelling of the human anatomy. The surrounding foliage is rendered with a loose, painterly touch, which prevents the background from competing with the primary subjects.\n\nHayez was known for his ability to infuse classical themes with a contemporary sensibility. While the subject matter draws upon mythological or pastoral traditions, the treatment of the figures reflects the aesthetic preferences of the early nineteenth century. The composition avoids rigid symmetry, opting for a more organic grouping that suggests a momentary pause in the activities of the bathers. The palette is dominated by earth tones, deep browns, and muted greens, which provide a grounding effect for the luminous white drapery. This work captures the artist's technical precision and his capacity to evoke a specific mood through the careful manipulation of light and shadow, characteristic of his broader body of work in Milanese academic circles.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/susannah-and-the-elders-william-valentine-schevill\" 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;\"\u003eSusannah and the Elders by William Valentine Schevill\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/rest-william-adolphe-bouguereau\" 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;\"\u003eRest by William Adolphe Bouguereau\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234311934287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234311999823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234312032591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234312130895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234312163663,"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":58234312196431,"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":58234312261967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234312294735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234312327503,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234312360271,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234312425807,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234312458575,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234312524111,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234312556879,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234313081167,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234313113935,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234313179471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bathing-Nymphs_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608530599-q80.jpg?v=1793208644"},{"product_id":"venetian-women-francesco-hayez","title":"Venetian Women - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA genre scene by Francesco Hayez depicting figures in period attire within a Venetian architectural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure in Italian Romanticism, produced this work during a period when he frequently explored historical and genre subjects. The composition depicts a scene set in Venice, characterised by the specific architectural details and the period-appropriate attire of the figures. A man in a prominent red robe stands to the left, while two women occupy the centre, one of whom is partially obscured by a dark shawl. The interaction between the figures suggests a narrative moment, common in Hayez's approach to painting, where human emotion and social tension are conveyed through gesture and posture.\n\nThe lighting in the painting is managed to draw attention to the central female figure, whose green dress provides a contrast against the more muted tones of the surrounding stone architecture. Hayez employs a controlled palette, allowing the red of the man's garment to anchor the left side of the frame. The background architecture, with its suggestion of a doorway and narrow street, provides a sense of place without distracting from the primary subjects. The brushwork is precise, reflecting the artist's academic training and his ability to render textures, from the heavy fabric of the robes to the delicate lace of the head covering.\n\nThis piece demonstrates the artist's interest in the social dynamics of historical Venice. Hayez often used such scenes to comment on contemporary life, using the past as a mirror for the present. The arrangement of the figures creates a sense of movement, as if the viewer has encountered them in the middle of a conversation or a transition between spaces. The work remains a clear example of the artist's technical skill and his capacity to construct a narrative within a single, static frame.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/flirtation-at-the-well-eugene-de-blaas-1\" 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;\"\u003eFlirtation at the Well by Eugene de Blaas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-vagabond-gustave-courbet\" 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 Vagabond by Gustave Courbet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234300957007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234301022543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234301055311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234301153615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234301186383,"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":58234301219151,"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":58234301284687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234301317455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234301350223,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234301382991,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234301448527,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234301481295,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234301546831,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234301579599,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234302103887,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234302136655,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234302202191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Venetian-Women_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608167771-q80.jpg?v=1793175753"},{"product_id":"odalisque-francesco-hayez","title":"Odalisque - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined study of a reclining figure by the Italian Romantic painter Francesco Hayez, capturing the soft light and anatomical precision of his nineteenth-century style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure of the Italian Romantic movement, produced this study of an odalisque during a period when Orientalist themes gained traction within European academic circles. The composition focuses on the reclining female figure, whose pose draws upon classical traditions of the recumbent nude. Hayez employs a controlled application of light to model the form, creating a contrast between the soft texture of the skin and the surrounding drapery. The subject wears a turban and a simple necklace, elements that suggest the exoticised aesthetic common to the genre during the nineteenth century.\n\nHayez was known for his technical precision and his ability to balance historical narrative with emotional resonance. In this work, the figure gazes away from the viewer, her expression contemplative rather than overtly provocative. The artist uses a limited palette to focus attention on the anatomical rendering and the play of shadow across the torso. The background remains largely obscured, which pushes the figure to the foreground and removes any specific environmental context. This approach allows the viewer to concentrate on the formal qualities of the painting, such as the curvature of the arms and the delicate handling of the fabric draped across the lower body.\n\nAs a practitioner of the Romantic style, Hayez often moved away from the rigid constraints of Neoclassicism, opting instead for a more fluid approach to human anatomy and mood. This print captures the tonal range of the original oil painting, preserving the subtle gradations of light that define the figure. It is a representative example of the artist's studio practice, where he explored themes of beauty and isolation through the lens of historical and literary archetypes. The work remains a study in composition and light, demonstrating the technical skill that defined Hayez's career in Milan.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/nude-study-henry-herbert-la-thangue\" 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;\"\u003eNude Study by Henry Herbert La Thangue\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/pleasure-eugene-de-blaas\" 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;\"\u003ePleasure by Eugene de Blaas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234291388751,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234291454287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234291487055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234291585359,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234291618127,"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":58234291650895,"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":58234291716431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234291749199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234291781967,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234291814735,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234291880271,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234291913039,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234291978575,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234292011343,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234292535631,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234292568399,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234292633935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Odalisque_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608410564-q80.jpg?v=1792370584"},{"product_id":"ballerina-carlotta-chabert-as-venus-francesco-hayez","title":"Ballerina Carlotta Chabert as Venus - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1830 oil painting by Francesco Hayez depicting ballerina Carlotta Chabert as the goddess Venus, rendered with classical precision and soft, naturalistic lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a leading figure in nineteenth-century Italian painting, produced this work in 1830. It depicts the ballerina Carlotta Chabert in the guise of Venus. The composition draws upon classical iconography, placing the figure in a serene, outdoor setting beside a stone plinth and a large decorative urn. The subject stands with her back to the viewer, her posture echoing the classical contrapposto stance often found in antique sculpture. A thin red thread connects her hand to a white dove, a symbolic reference to the goddess of love.\n\nHayez demonstrates his technical precision through the rendering of the figure, particularly the soft transitions of light and shadow across the skin. The drapery, a stark white fabric, provides a sharp contrast to the darker, atmospheric background. The artist balances the mythological subject with the specific features of the sitter, creating a blend of idealised beauty and individual portraiture. This approach was characteristic of his work, which often bridged the gap between historical narrative and contemporary observation.\n\nAs a master of the Italian Romantic style, Hayez moved away from the rigid constraints of Neoclassicism, favouring a more emotive and naturalistic treatment of his subjects. The painting reflects the period's fascination with classical themes, yet it remains grounded in the theatricality of the stage. The muted palette, dominated by earthy tones and the cool white of the fabric, directs the viewer's attention to the central figure. The work is currently held in the collection of the Museo Civico in Vicenza, where it remains an example of the artist's ability to synthesise classical tradition with the sensibilities of his own time.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-tatiana-ryabushinskaya-natalia-goncharova\" 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 Tatiana Ryabushinskaya by Natalia Goncharova\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/venus-and-cupid-jean-honore-fragonard\" 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;\"\u003eVenus and Cupid by Jean-Honoré Fragonard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234285392207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234285457743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234285490511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234285588815,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234285621583,"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":58234285654351,"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":58234285719887,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234285752655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234285785423,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234285818191,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234285883727,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234285916495,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234285982031,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234286014799,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234286539087,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234286571855,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234286637391,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ballerina-Carlotta-Chabert-as-Venus_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608411996-q80.jpg?v=1792338760"},{"product_id":"the-three-graces-francesco-hayez","title":"The Three Graces - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Neoclassical fresco detail by Francesco Hayez, depicting the Three Graces surrounded by delicate, symmetrical scrollwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis detail captures a portion of a larger decorative scheme executed by Francesco Hayez. The composition features the Three Graces, a subject drawn from classical mythology, depicted with the anatomical precision and balanced proportions characteristic of the Neoclassical period. Hayez, a central figure in Italian Romanticism, demonstrates here his early training in the formal rigour of the Academy.\n\nThe figures are arranged in a rhythmic, interlocking pose, their bodies draped in soft, flowing garments that reveal the influence of antique sculpture. The central figure anchors the group, while the flanking figures provide a sense of movement through their varied gestures and the billowing fabric of their robes. The background is treated as a flat, decorative surface, adorned with delicate, symmetrical scrollwork and botanical motifs that frame the central trio.\n\nThe colour palette is restrained, relying on soft ochres, muted blues, and pale pinks to maintain a sense of harmony. The application of paint suggests the rapid, confident hand required for fresco work, where the artist must complete sections before the plaster dries. This work reflects the broader European interest in the revival of classical themes during the early nineteenth century, where artists sought to emulate the clarity and grace of antiquity. The decorative elements surrounding the figures serve to integrate the mythological scene into the architectural space, creating a unified aesthetic experience. Hayez balances the human form with ornamental detail, ensuring that the figures remain the primary focus while the surrounding motifs provide a sense of balance and order.

The composition captures the final, fleeting moment between the two protagonists before Romeo departs for exile. Hayez focuses on the emotional intensity of the embrace, placing the figures within a structured architectural setting that suggests the interior of a medieval chamber.\n\nThe artist employs a precise, academic technique, which contrasts with the dramatic subject matter typical of the Romantic period. The lighting is carefully managed to draw attention to the central figures, while the surrounding environment remains somewhat subdued. Romeo is depicted in period-appropriate attire, his posture suggesting a hurried departure, while Juliet is rendered in a simple, flowing gown. The inclusion of subtle details, such as the crucifix in the background and the arched window looking out onto a distant landscape, adds a layer of narrative depth to the scene.\n\nHayez was known for his ability to blend historical accuracy with emotional resonance. This work demonstrates his skill in managing complex compositions while maintaining a clear focus on the human interaction at the centre of the frame. The palette is composed of muted earth tones, punctuated by the warmer hues of the clothing, which helps to ground the figures within the space. By choosing to depict this specific moment of separation, Hayez avoids the more violent aspects of the play, opting instead for a quiet, intimate portrayal of loss. This approach allows the viewer to engage directly with the psychological state of the characters, free from the distraction of broader theatrical action.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/henry-v-discovering-the-conspirators-henry-fuseli-1\" 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;\"\u003eHenry V Discovering the Conspirators by Henry Fuseli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/rebecca-kidnapped-by-the-templar-sir-brian-de-bois-guilbert-eugene-delacroix\" 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;\"\u003eRebecca Kidnapped by the Templar, Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert by Eugène Delacroix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234277888335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234277953871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234277986639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234278084943,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234278117711,"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":58234278150479,"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":58234278216015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234278248783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234278281551,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234278314319,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234278379855,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234278412623,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234278478159,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234278510927,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234279035215,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234279067983,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234279133519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Last-Kiss-of-Romeo-and-Juliet_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608531867-q80.jpg?v=1793013223"},{"product_id":"female-nude-study-francesco-hayez","title":"Female Nude (Study) - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined academic study of a female figure by Italian Romantic painter Francesco Hayez, focusing on anatomical form and soft, natural lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure in nineteenth-century Italian painting, produced this study of a female figure with a focus on anatomical precision and light. The composition features a woman standing against a plain wall, her back turned to the viewer, with one arm raised to lean against the surface. This pose allows for a careful examination of the musculature and the play of light across the skin, which is a hallmark of Hayez's academic training.\n\nThe artist employs a muted palette, relying on subtle gradations of flesh tones to define the form. The background is kept sparse, consisting of a simple architectural corner and a suggestion of a distant, hazy sky. This lack of narrative detail directs the viewer's attention entirely to the human form. The figure is draped in a light cloth, which provides a contrast in texture to the smooth skin and the solid wall. \n\nHayez was known for his ability to balance the rigour of Neoclassical training with the emotional sensitivity of the Romantic movement. While this work functions as a study, it possesses a quiet, contemplative quality. The lighting is soft, creating gentle shadows that model the back and legs of the subject. The work demonstrates the artist's technical proficiency in oil painting, particularly in his handling of skin tones and the subtle transition between light and shadow. It remains a clear example of the academic practices common in European art schools during the early nineteenth century, where the study of the human figure was the primary method for developing artistic skill.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/zittende-naakte-vrouw-henry-louis-basan\" 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;\"\u003eZittende naakte vrouw by Henry Louis Basan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/twee-naakte-mannen-in-gevecht-louis-fabritius-dubourg\" 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 naakte mannen in gevecht by Louis Fabritius Dubourg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234276053327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234276118863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234276151631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234276249935,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234276282703,"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":58234276315471,"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":58234276381007,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234276413775,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234276446543,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234276479311,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234276544847,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234276577615,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234276643151,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234276675919,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234277200207,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234277232975,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234277298511,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Female-Nude-Study-_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608647984-q80.jpg?v=1792963878"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-antoniet-vitali-sola-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of Antoniet Vitali Sola - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined nineteenth-century portrait by Francesco Hayez, capturing the poise and attire of Antoniet Vitali Sola with technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure in Italian Romanticism, painted this portrait of Antoniet Vitali Sola around 1820. The work demonstrates his technical precision and his ability to capture the psychological presence of his sitters. Hayez was known for his academic training, which is evident in the balanced composition and the careful rendering of textures.\n\nThe subject is depicted in a three-quarter view against a neutral, muted background. Her gaze is directed towards the viewer, creating a sense of direct engagement. The artist focuses on the details of her attire, particularly the white ruffled collar that frames her face. The dark, structured fabric of her dress contrasts with the softness of the lace, showing the artist's skill in handling light and shadow. Her hair is styled in the fashion of the period, with tight curls framing her face, held in place by a simple band.\n\nHayez spent much of his career in Milan, where he became a professor at the Brera Academy. His portraits often reflect the social standing of the Milanese bourgeoisie during the early nineteenth century. This painting is an example of his approach to portraiture, which prioritises clarity and a refined finish over the more dramatic emotional displays found in his historical compositions. The colour palette is restrained, relying on earthy tones and deep blues to maintain a sense of sobriety and elegance. By avoiding unnecessary ornamentation, Hayez directs the viewer's attention to the character of the sitter. This print captures the subtle gradations of tone and the fine brushwork of the original oil painting, making it a suitable addition for those interested in nineteenth-century European portraiture.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-p-n-zubov-vasily-tropinin\" 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 P.

Hayez, a leading figure in the Italian Romantic movement, captures his subject with a direct, psychological intensity. The composition focuses on the sitter's head and shoulders, set against a textured, neutral background that directs the viewer's attention to the facial features.\n\nHayez employs a controlled palette of earth tones, browns, and blacks, which creates a sense of gravity and sobriety. The brushwork is precise, particularly in the rendering of the sitter's dark, tousled hair and the fabric of his coat. The high white collar provides a sharp contrast, framing the face and drawing the eye to the subject's steady gaze. This work reflects the artist's ability to balance technical accuracy with an evocative, personal quality.\n\nPompeo Marchesi was a notable neoclassical sculptor, and this portrait serves as a record of the professional and social circles Hayez inhabited in Milan. The painting avoids excessive ornamentation, relying instead on the interplay of light and shadow to define the form. The artist's approach to portraiture during this period often involved a careful study of the sitter's character, resulting in images that feel both immediate and composed. The subtle modulation of tone across the skin and the careful treatment of the dark clothing demonstrate the technical proficiency that defined Hayez's career. This print offers a clear reproduction of the original oil painting, preserving the tonal depth and the specific character of the brushwork.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-a-young-man-theodore-gericault\" 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 a Young Man by Théodore Géricault\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-alexander-fedorovich-zaikin-vasily-tropinin\" 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 Alexander Fedorovich Zaikin by Vasily Tropinin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234271203663,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234271269199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234271301967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234271400271,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234271433039,"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":58234271465807,"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":58234271531343,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234271564111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234271596879,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234271629647,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234271695183,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234271727951,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234271793487,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234271826255,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234272350543,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234272383311,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234272448847,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Pompeo-Marchesi_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608769843-q80.jpg?v=1793490770"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-ferdinand-i-of-austria-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of Ferdinand I of Austria - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal 1840 portrait of Ferdinand I of Austria by the Italian Romantic painter Francesco Hayez, capturing the monarch in his official imperial regalia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a leading figure in Italian Romanticism, painted this portrait of Ferdinand I of Austria in 1840. The work captures the monarch in his official regalia, reflecting the formal requirements of nineteenth-century court portraiture. Hayez, known for his technical precision and ability to convey psychological depth, presents the Emperor with a measured, solemn expression.\n\nThe composition focuses on the textures of the imperial attire. The ermine-lined mantle, the heavy velvet, and the metallic sheen of the orb are rendered with careful attention to light and shadow. Hayez employs a muted palette, which directs the viewer's attention to the sitter's face and the symbolic objects of his office. The background remains dark and indistinct, a common technique in the period to isolate the subject and create a sense of gravitas.\n\nFerdinand I, who reigned as Emperor of Austria from 1835 to 1848, is depicted here as a figure of authority. The inclusion of the sceptre and the orb, placed upon a cushion, reinforces his status as a sovereign ruler. Hayez manages to balance the rigid demands of state portraiture with his own stylistic tendencies, resulting in a work that is both a historical document and a study of individual character. The brushwork is controlled, allowing for the fine details of the embroidery and the lace collar to emerge clearly against the darker tones of the composition. This portrait remains a representative example of the artist's output during his time in Milan, where he became a central figure in the cultural life of the city.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/friedrich-josias-prince-of-coburg-johann-friedrich-wilhelm-muller\" 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;\"\u003eFriedrich Josias, Prince of Coburg - Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Müller by Johann Friedrich Müller\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portret-van-maria-elisabeth-aartshertogin-van-oostenrijk-michael-rossler\" 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 Maria Elisabeth, aartshertogin van Oostenrijk by Michael Rössler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234269139279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234269204815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234269237583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234269335887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234269368655,"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":58234269401423,"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":58234269466959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234269499727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234269532495,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234269565263,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234269630799,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234269663567,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234269729103,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234269761871,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234270286159,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234270318927,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234270384463,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Ferdinand-I-of-Austria_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608888146-q80.jpg?v=1792392754"},{"product_id":"the-new-favourite-harem-scene-francesco-hayez","title":"The New Favourite (Harem Scene) - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1866 oil painting by Francesco Hayez depicting a scene within a harem, characteristic of the 19th-century Orientalist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure in Italian Romanticism, produced this work in 1866. It belongs to the genre of Orientalism, a movement that captured the European imagination regarding the cultures of the Near East and North Africa. The composition depicts a domestic interior within a harem, where a group of women surrounds a central male figure. The scene is constructed with a focus on theatrical staging, using architectural elements such as the pointed archway to suggest an exotic setting.\n\nHayez employs a controlled palette, favouring warm earth tones, deep browns, and muted ochres. The lighting is directed to draw attention to the central figures, while the peripheral areas remain in shadow. The figures are rendered with a focus on anatomical accuracy and the texture of their garments, reflecting the artist's academic training. The arrangement of the figures creates a sense of narrative tension, as the gaze of the women is directed toward the newcomer, who stands in a position of prominence.\n\nThis painting demonstrates the artist's ability to manage complex multi-figure compositions. The inclusion of decorative elements, such as the patterned rug and the architectural details, adds to the atmospheric quality of the piece. Hayez avoids overly dramatic gestures, opting instead for a composed, almost stage-like interaction between the subjects. The work remains a representative example of how nineteenth-century European artists interpreted non-Western domestic spaces through a lens of historical and cultural curiosity. The print captures the fine tonal transitions and the specific brushwork of the original oil painting, ensuring that the depth and texture of the scene are preserved for the viewer.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/woman-at-a-balcony-jean-leon-gerome\" 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;\"\u003eWoman at a Balcony by Jean-Léon Gérôme\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/scene-uit-toneelstuk-met-oosterse-vrouwen-charles-rochussen\" 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;\"\u003eScène uit toneelstuk met oosterse vrouwen by Charles Rochussen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancesco Hayez artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234265895247,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234265960783,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234265993551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234266091855,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234266124623,"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":58234266157391,"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":58234266222927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234266255695,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234266288463,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234266321231,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234266386767,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234266419535,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234266485071,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234266517839,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234267042127,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234267074895,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234267140431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-New-Favourite-Harem-Scene-_Poster_CompositorV1_1782608888331-q80.jpg?v=1792767135"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-countess-luigia-douglas-scotti-dadda-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of Countess Luigia Douglas Scotti d'Adda - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined 1839 oil portrait by Francesco Hayez, depicting Countess Luigia Douglas Scotti d'Adda with technical precision and elegant composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a leading figure in Italian Romanticism, painted this portrait of Countess Luigia Douglas Scotti d'Adda in 1839. The work demonstrates his technical precision and his ability to capture the psychological presence of his sitters. Hayez was known for his refined approach to portraiture, often favouring a clean, academic finish that prioritised clarity of form over the looser brushwork seen in other European schools of the period.\n\nThe composition is focused on the subject, who is depicted from the chest up against a dark, neutral background. This choice of setting directs the viewer's attention to the Countess's features and the texture of her attire. Her dark hair is styled in the elaborate ringlets fashionable in the 1830s, framing her face and contrasting with the pale, smooth skin of her neck and shoulders. The off-the-shoulder dark blue gown, finished with delicate lace trim, provides a subtle colour contrast against the muted tones of the background.\n\nHayez manages the play of light across the subject with care, creating a sense of volume and depth. The soft illumination highlights the contours of her face and the fabric of her dress, while the shadows remain controlled and unobtrusive. This portrait reflects the social status of the sitter through her composed expression and elegant posture. It is a representative example of the high-quality portraiture commissioned by the Italian aristocracy during the nineteenth century, where the artist's skill in rendering textures and human expression was held in high regard.

The work captures the musician in his later years, presenting a sober and direct likeness that avoids the theatricality often associated with the period. Hayez focuses on the physical presence of the sitter, using a restrained palette of dark tones to draw attention to the face and the hands.\n\nRossini is depicted in a seated position, holding a musical score in one hand and a walking stick in the other. The background is a neutral, dark wash, which pushes the figure forward and creates a sense of quietude. The lighting is focused, illuminating the composer's features and the white paper of the score, which provides a sharp contrast to his dark attire. The brushwork is precise, reflecting the artist's academic training and his ability to render texture, from the fabric of the coat to the weathered skin of the subject.\n\nThis portrait belongs to the later phase of Hayez's career, during which he produced numerous likenesses of contemporary cultural figures. Unlike his earlier historical paintings, which were often charged with political or allegorical meaning, this work is a study in character and age. It documents the appearance of one of the most influential composers of the nineteenth century with clarity and technical control. The composition is balanced, with the diagonal line of the walking stick providing a subtle counterpoint to the horizontal orientation of the musical score. The result is a dignified image that captures the composer in a moment of reflection, stripped of unnecessary artifice.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/richard-wagner-pierre-auguste-renoir\" 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;\"\u003eRichard Wagner by Pierre-Auguste Renoir\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portret-van-giuseppe-tartini-william-daniell\" 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 Giuseppe Tartini by William Daniell\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234257277263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234257342799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234257375567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234257473871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234257506639,"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":58234257539407,"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":58234257604943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234257637711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234257670479,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234257703247,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234257768783,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234257801551,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234257867087,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234257899855,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234258424143,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234258456911,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234258522447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Gioacchino-Rossini_Poster_CompositorV1_1782609008645-q80.jpg?v=1793463085"},{"product_id":"destruction-of-the-temple-of-jerusalem-francesco-hayez","title":"Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dramatic 1867 history painting by Francesco Hayez depicting the siege of Jerusalem with masterful composition and sombre, atmospheric tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a central figure in Italian Romanticism, completed this large-scale history painting in 1867. The work depicts the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD, a subject that allowed the artist to explore themes of conflict, loss, and human suffering through a classical lens. Hayez organises the composition around a central, stark wall, which acts as a barrier between the chaos of the Roman soldiers and the desperate figures attempting to escape the encroaching fire.\n\nThe palette is dominated by muted earth tones, greys, and blacks, which effectively convey the smoke and debris of the burning city. The artist employs a theatrical approach to light, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures while obscuring the periphery in shadow and haze. The inclusion of specific historical details, such as the menorah held by a figure on the left, provides a clear narrative anchor for the scene. \n\nHayez was known for his technical precision and his ability to manage complex, multi-figure compositions. In this work, he balances the architectural rigidity of the temple structure with the fluid, frantic movements of the people caught in the destruction. The painting avoids excessive sentimentality, opting instead for a controlled, dramatic representation of a historical event. It remains a significant example of nineteenth-century Italian academic painting, reflecting the period's interest in historical narratives and the technical mastery of the human form in motion.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-saving-of-the-infant-pyrrhus-nicolas-poussin\" 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 Saving of the Infant Pyrrhus by Nicolas Poussin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/miravan-breaking-open-the-tomb-of-his-ancestors-joseph-wright-of-derby\" 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;\"\u003eMiravan Breaking Open the Tomb of his Ancestors by Joseph Wright of Derby\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/francesco-hayez\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Francesco Hayez →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Hayez","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234259112271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234259177807,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234259210575,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234259308879,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234259341647,"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":58234259374415,"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":58234259439951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234259472719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234259505487,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58234259538255,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234259603791,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58234259636559,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58234259702095,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58234259734863,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234260259151,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234260291919,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58234260357455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Destruction-of-the-Temple-of-Jerusalem_Poster_CompositorV1_1782609008760-q80.jpg?v=1792964486"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-don-giulio-vigoni-as-a-child-francesco-hayez","title":"Portrait of Don Giulio Vigoni as a child - Francesco Hayez","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined nineteenth-century portrait by Francesco Hayez, depicting the young Don Giulio Vigoni in a classical setting with doves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrancesco Hayez, a leading figure in Italian Romanticism, painted this portrait of the young Don Giulio Vigoni during the mid-nineteenth century. The composition places the child in a formal, staged setting, typical of the aristocratic portraiture of the period. Giulio is depicted standing beside a large, stone pedestal adorned with a sculpted lion head, which provides a sense of classical gravity to the scene. He wears a dark blue tunic and light, striped trousers, his gaze directed slightly away from the viewer with a contemplative expression.\n\nTo the right, two white doves rest on the stone base, tethered by a thin string held loosely in the boy's hand. This inclusion of animals, often symbolic of innocence or peace, adds a narrative layer to the portrait. The background features a painted backdrop of a wooded area and a distant, hazy mountain view, which creates a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. Hayez demonstrates his technical skill through the careful rendering of textures, from the soft fabric of the child's clothing to the weathered stone of the pedestal and the delicate plumage of the birds.\n\nThis work reflects the artist's ability to balance formal academic training with the emotive qualities associated with the Romantic movement. The lighting is controlled, focusing attention on the figure of the child while maintaining a harmonious relationship with the surrounding elements. The palette is restrained, relying on the contrast between the deep blue of the tunic and the neutral tones of the stone and landscape.

The composition features a woman reclining on a divan, draped in white linen, positioned against a backdrop of heavy green curtains. To the right, an opening reveals a glimpse of the sea, providing a sense of distance and atmosphere. The subject gazes away from the viewer, her posture relaxed yet composed.\n\nHayez was known for his technical precision and his ability to render textures, from the soft folds of the fabric to the smooth skin of the figure. The lighting is controlled, focusing attention on the subject while the surrounding environment remains in shadow. This approach creates a quiet, contemplative mood. The work reflects the nineteenth-century fascination with Orientalist themes, a common subject for European painters of the period who sought to explore exoticised narratives through classical techniques.\n\nUnlike the more dramatic or politically charged works for which Hayez is often recognised, this painting focuses on the intimacy of the domestic interior. The colour palette is restrained, relying on the contrast between the white drapery, the deep green of the curtains, and the warm tones of the upholstery. The composition is balanced, with the figure forming a stable horizontal line that anchors the scene. The attention to detail in the fabric and the subtle modelling of the figure demonstrate the artist's academic training and his mastery of the medium. This print captures the tonal nuances of the original oil painting, offering a clear view of the brushwork and the careful construction of the space.\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=\"\/en-nz\/products\/portrait-of-ye-i-durnova-karl-bryullov\" 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 Ye.

The painting depicts a seated female figure, viewed in profile, engaged with an open book. The composition relies on the contrast between the pale, luminous skin of the subject and the deep, saturated red of the background and the cushion upon which she rests. Her posture is relaxed, with her gaze directed downward towards the text, creating a sense of quiet introspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHayez was known for his technical precision and his ability to balance historical themes with intimate, domestic subjects. In this piece, the treatment of the fabric, draped loosely around the figure, demonstrates his skill in rendering texture and form.

This approach directs the focus entirely to the figure and her solitary activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of his more politically charged historical canvases, this work belongs to a series of studies focusing on the female form within private settings.

The work reflects the artist's later period, where he moved away from grand narratives toward more personal, atmospheric compositions. The brushwork is smooth, typical of the academic training Hayez received in Venice and Rome, yet it retains the emotional weight characteristic of the Romantic movement.

The painting depicts the biblical narrative of Bathsheba, who is shown preparing for her bath while attended by a servant.

The composition is structured around the central figure of Bathsheba, whose pale, luminous skin contrasts with the darker, wooded surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist uses a controlled palette to manage the interplay of light and shadow, a technique that directs the viewer's attention to the physical form and the quiet interaction between the two women. The servant, kneeling at the edge of the water, offers a vessel, creating a sense of domestic intimacy that contrasts with the grander, more dramatic themes often found in 19th-century history painting.
