{"product_id":"joan-of-arc-eugene-grasset","title":"Joan of Arc - Eugène Grasset","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1896 lithographic poster by Eugène Grasset, designed to promote Mark Twain's historical novel about Joan of Arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithographic poster, created by Eugène Grasset in 1896, served as promotional material for the publication of Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. Grasset, a figure in the development of the Art Nouveau style, demonstrates his mastery of line and composition within this commercial work. The central figure of Joan of Arc is rendered with a focus on historical detail, wearing plate armour and holding a staff. She is surrounded by soldiers, their forms partially obscured to create a sense of depth and crowded movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is framed by bold, red typography that identifies the author and the publisher, Harper \u0026amp; Brothers. Grasset employs a precise, linear technique that reflects his background in architectural training and his interest in medieval aesthetics. The contrast between the monochromatic, detailed illustration and the flat, saturated red text is characteristic of late nineteenth-century poster design. This work captures the romanticised view of the medieval period that was popular during the fin de siècle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrasset was instrumental in bridging the gap between fine art and graphic design. His influence extended across Europe and North America, where his work helped define the visual language of the period. By integrating text and image, he created a cohesive design that functioned both as an advertisement and as a piece of graphic art. The print maintains a balance between the narrative elements of the historical subject and the decorative requirements of a poster. The attention to the texture of the armour and the expressions of the figures provides a sense of realism, while the overall layout remains structured and clear. This piece remains a representative example of the commercial graphic arts produced during the height of the Art Nouveau movement.\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\/menukaart-voor-de-leidsche-spaarbank-theo-van-hoytema\" 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;\"\u003eMenukaart voor de Leidsche spaarbank by Theo van Hoytema\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/affiche-voor-akedysseril-marius-bauer\" 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;\"\u003eAffiche voor Akëdysséril by Marius Bauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eugène Grasset","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131219378511,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131232223567,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131232256335,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131232289103,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131232321871,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131232354639,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131232387407,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131232420175,"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":59131232452943,"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":59131232485711,"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":59131232518479,"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":59131232551247,"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":59131232584015,"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":59131232616783,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131232649551,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131232682319,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131232715087,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131232747855,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131232780623,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131232813391,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Joan-of-Arc_Poster_CompositorV1_1792115799294.jpg?v=1792137145","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/joan-of-arc-eugene-grasset","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
