{"product_id":"jupiter-stefano-della-bella","title":"Jupiter - Stefano Della Bella","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 17th-century etching of Jupiter by Stefano Della Bella, originally created as part of a mythological playing card series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Stefano Della Bella depicts the Roman deity Jupiter, shown in his traditional guise as the king of the gods. The figure is seated upon an eagle, his primary attribute, while brandishing a thunderbolt. The composition is divided into two distinct sections: the upper portion features the dynamic, swirling lines characteristic of Della Bella's printmaking, while the lower portion contains a descriptive text in French, identifying the figure as the son of Saturn and Rhea who claimed the heavens as his domain. A small heart symbol at the base indicates the work's origin as part of a deck of playing cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDella Bella was a prolific Florentine printmaker who spent significant time in Paris under the patronage of Cardinal Richelieu. His work is noted for its technical precision and the fluidity of his line. This specific series demonstrates his ability to combine classical iconography with the functional requirements of a card game. The etching technique allows for a high degree of detail in the clouds and the eagle's plumage, creating a sense of movement despite the small scale of the plate. The inclusion of text within the frame serves both an educational and a decorative purpose, typical of seventeenth-century educational games designed for the aristocracy. The print reflects the period's fascination with classical mythology and the systematic categorisation of knowledge through visual media. Collectors of Baroque prints will recognise the artist's signature style in the expressive handling of the figure and the balanced use of negative space within the frame.\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-martin-ryckaert-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 Martin Ryckaert - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" 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;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stefano della Bella","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353354408271,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353355882831,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58353355915599,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58353355948367,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58353355981135,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58353356013903,"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":58353356046671,"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":58353356079439,"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":58353356112207,"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":58353356144975,"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":58353356177743,"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":58353356210511,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Jupiter_Poster_CompositorV1_1785454354089.jpg?v=1785454458","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/jupiter-stefano-della-bella","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
