{"product_id":"june-aegidius-sadeler-ii","title":"June - Aegidius Sadeler II","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century engraving by Aegidius Sadeler II, depicting the month of June through a scene of summer leisure, classical architecture, and river activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Aegidius Sadeler II, a master of the Flemish school, depicts the month of June as part of a larger series representing the calendar year. The composition is structured around the activities associated with early summer, blending human leisure with the natural environment. In the foreground, figures gather near a grotto and a water feature, while others board a small boat on the river. The scene is framed by architectural elements, including a classical pavilion and a distant villa, which suggest the influence of Italian garden design on Northern European aesthetics of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadeler demonstrates technical precision in his use of line to define the textures of stone, foliage, and water. The sky contains celestial references, with the zodiac sign of Cancer positioned above the horizon, linking the earthly activities to the cosmic order. The print reflects the period interest in allegorical representations of time and the seasons, where the human experience is situated within a broader, structured world. The balance between the manicured gardens and the wilder riverbank creates a sense of harmony characteristic of the era's printmaking traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member of the prominent Sadeler family of engravers, Aegidius II spent much of his career in Prague under the patronage of Emperor Rudolf II. His work is noted for its clarity and the ability to translate complex painterly compositions into the medium of engraving. This piece provides a window into the social and cultural life of the early seventeenth century, capturing the atmosphere of a summer day through a refined, monochromatic lens. The attention to detail, from the clothing of the figures to the specific botanical forms, invites close inspection of the social hierarchies and leisure habits of the 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=\"\/products\/the-cordons-of-saint-francis-agostino-carracci\" 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 Cordons of Saint Francis - Agostino Carracci — Agostino Carracci\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bear-hunt-with-lobster-quail-weasel-and-fish-adriaen-collaert\" 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;\"\u003eBear Hunt, with Lobster, Quail, Weasel, and Fish - Adriaen Collaert — Adriaen Collaert\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aegidius Sadeler II","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58519401169231,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58519433609551,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58519433642319,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58519433675087,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58519433707855,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58519433740623,"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":58519433773391,"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":58519433806159,"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":58519433838927,"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":58519433871695,"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":58519433904463,"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":58519433937231,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/June_Poster_CompositorV1_1786471574314.jpg?v=1787154594","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/june-aegidius-sadeler-ii","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
