{"product_id":"june-the-angler-jan-caspar-philips","title":"June: The Angler - Jan Caspar Philips","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicting a man fishing, representing the month of June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicts a solitary figure engaged in fishing, a scene representing the month of June. The composition follows the conventions of eighteenth-century Dutch printmaking, where seasonal activities were frequently documented to reflect the passage of time and the connection between human leisure and the natural world. The angler stands on a grassy bank, his posture relaxed as he watches his line, which extends towards a stone structure bordering the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilips employs precise line work to define the textures of the foliage, the brickwork of the building, and the fabric of the subject's period attire. The use of cross-hatching creates depth within the shadows, particularly beneath the trees and along the side of the building. The sky is rendered with horizontal strokes, suggesting a clear day. Below the image, a Dutch and French couplet provides a commentary on the activity, noting the pleasure found in the pursuit of fishing, even when the catch remains elusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a printmaker active in Amsterdam, Philips produced numerous works that captured the daily life and architectural character of the region. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the months of the year, a common theme in European graphic arts of the period. The work demonstrates the technical proficiency of the artist in managing light and shadow through the medium of etching, providing a clear window into the aesthetic preferences and cultural interests of the mid-eighteenth century. The print remains a record of both the artistic techniques of the era and the social customs associated with seasonal pastimes in the Netherlands.\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\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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 Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" 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;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Caspar Philips","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486440067407,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486454550863,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486454583631,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58486454616399,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58486454649167,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58486454681935,"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":58486454714703,"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":58486454747471,"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":58486454780239,"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":58486454813007,"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":58486454845775,"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":58486454878543,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/June_-The-Angler_Poster_CompositorV1_1786376455165.jpg?v=1786853867","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/june-the-angler-jan-caspar-philips","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
