{"product_id":"holy-family-francesco-bartolozzi","title":"Holy Family - Francesco Bartolozzi","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn elegant eighteenth-century etching by Francesco Bartolozzi, depicting the Holy Family in a serene, classical style based on a painting by Piazzetta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Francesco Bartolozzi captures a scene of the Holy Family, rendered with the technical precision characteristic of his work. Bartolozzi, an Italian engraver who spent much of his career in London, was a master of the stipple and etching techniques. His ability to translate the painterly qualities of original compositions into print form made him a sought-after collaborator for many painters of the eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph positioned beside them. A secondary figure, likely a boatman or attendant, is included in the lower right, suggesting a narrative of travel or flight. The figures are arranged with a sense of gentle movement, typical of the Rococo period. The background includes a tree and a suggestion of a landscape, while the sky is rendered with fine, parallel lines that create a sense of atmosphere and light. The Christ Child is depicted with a radiant halo, a detail that draws the eye towards the centre of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBartolozzi’s line work is delicate and controlled. He uses varying densities of cross-hatching to define form and shadow, creating a sense of volume in the drapery of the garments and the musculature of the figures. The print reflects the eighteenth-century interest in reproducing classical and religious themes for a growing market of collectors. By focusing on the interaction between the figures, the artist creates a quiet, domestic interpretation of a traditional religious subject. The inclusion of the inscription 'Piazzetta dipinse' indicates that this print is based on an original painting by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, demonstrating the collaborative nature of printmaking during this era. This fine art print offers a clear view of the engraver's skill in managing light and texture through the medium of etching.\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\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-two-prophets-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;\"\u003eThe Two Prophets - Jean-Honoré Fragonard — Jean-Honoré Fragonard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Bartolozzi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443539611983,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443569496399,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443569529167,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443569561935,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443569594703,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443569627471,"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":58443569660239,"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":58443569693007,"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":58443569725775,"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":58443569758543,"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":58443569791311,"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":58443569824079,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Holy-Family_Poster_CompositorV1_1786229909744.jpg?v=1786413653","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/holy-family-francesco-bartolozzi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
