{"product_id":"antiochus-and-stratonice-jean-grandjean","title":"Antiochus and Stratonice - Jean Grandjean","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Neoclassical history painting depicting the classical narrative of Antiochus and Stratonice, rendered with precise architectural detail and balanced composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Jean Grandjean depicts the classical narrative of Antiochus and Stratonice, a subject frequently explored by artists of the eighteenth century. The scene captures the moment of discovery regarding the prince's hidden illness, which the physician Erasistratus diagnoses as lovesickness for his stepmother, Stratonice. Grandjean organises the composition with a clear focus on the central figures, using the architectural elements of the room to frame the interaction between the ailing prince and the queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting demonstrates the influence of the Neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the aesthetic values of antiquity. Grandjean employs a balanced arrangement of figures, with the physician seated prominently to the left, observing the reaction of the prince. The use of drapery, particularly the large blue canopy suspended above the bed, adds a theatrical quality to the interior setting. The inclusion of classical statuary in the background, such as the figure of Antinous, reinforces the historical context of the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandjean, a Dutch painter who spent time in Rome, shows a refined approach to light and colour. The palette is composed of muted earth tones, punctuated by the striking blue of the canopy and the warm gold of the queen's garments. The attention to detail in the clothing and the surrounding furniture reflects the period's interest in archaeological accuracy. The work remains a representative example of the academic training and stylistic preferences prevalent among European artists working in Italy during the late eighteenth century. The composition is structured to guide the viewer through the emotional weight of the scene, from the physician's diagnostic observation to the queen's composed presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/socrates-and-alcibiades-christoffer-wilhelm-eckersberg\" 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;\"\u003eSocrates and Alcibiades - Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg — Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/orange-girl-francesco-bartolozzi\" 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;\"\u003eOrange Girl - Francesco Bartolozzi — Francesco Bartolozzi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Grandjean","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600125137231,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600152564047,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600152596815,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600152629583,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600152662351,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600152695119,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600152727887,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600152760655,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600152793423,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600152826191,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600152858959,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600152891727,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Antiochus-and-Stratonice_Poster_CompositorV1_1788024722817.jpg?v=1788025341","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/antiochus-and-stratonice-jean-grandjean","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
