{"product_id":"laocoon-charles-clement-bervic","title":"Laocoön - Charles Clément Bervic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise engraving by Charles Clément Bervic depicting the classical Laocoön sculpture group, rendered with technical mastery and anatomical clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Charles Clément Bervic depicts the Laocoön and His Sons, a celebrated Hellenistic marble sculpture group. Bervic, a master of the burin, translates the dramatic tension of the original stone into a precise, monochromatic medium. The composition captures the Trojan priest and his two sons in their final struggle against the sea serpents sent by the gods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBervic employs a rigorous system of cross-hatching and parallel lines to model the musculature of the figures. The technique mimics the smooth, polished surface of marble, while the deep shadows within the alcove provide a sense of spatial depth. The artist focuses on the anatomical accuracy of the figures, reflecting the Neoclassical interest in the clarity and order of antiquity. Every muscle fibre and serpentine coil is rendered with technical discipline, demonstrating the high level of skill required for large-scale copperplate engraving during the early nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is a reproduction of the sculpture as it appeared in the Louvre, following its removal from Rome during the Napoleonic era. Bervic was a member of the Institut Impérial de France, and his work was often commissioned to document the treasures held within the national collections. The print maintains a formal, academic quality, prioritising the structural integrity of the figures over atmospheric effects. It provides a clear, detailed view of the sculpture, allowing for an examination of the composition from a fixed, frontal perspective. The work remains a technical reference for the capabilities of the burin in the hands of a skilled practitioner, capturing the pathos of the original subject through controlled, rhythmic lines.\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\/noli-me-tangere-raphael-morghen\" 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;\"\u003eNoli me tangere - Raphael Morghen — Raffaello Sanzio Morghen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/twee-gedenkpenningen-op-de-beurs-van-hendrik-de-keyser-te-amsterdam-jan-dam-steuerwald\" 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;\"\u003eTwee gedenkpenningen op de Beurs van Hendrik de Keyser te Amsterdam - Jan Dam Steuerwald — Jan Dam Steuerwald\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Clément Bervic","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644745617743,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644809908559,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58644809941327,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58644809974095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58644810006863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58644810039631,"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":58644810072399,"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":58644810105167,"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":58644810137935,"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":58644810170703,"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":58644810203471,"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":58644810236239,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Laoco-n_Poster_CompositorV1_1788353659297.jpg?v=1788354232","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/laocoon-charles-clement-bervic","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
