{"product_id":"louis-duke-of-burgundy-gerard-edelinck","title":"Louis, Duke of Burgundy - Gérard Edelinck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal portrait engraving of Louis, Duke of Burgundy, by the Flemish master Gérard Edelinck, capturing the refined aesthetic of the late seventeenth-century French court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Gérard Edelinck depicts Louis, Duke of Burgundy, the grandson of Louis XIV. The work is based on a painting by Jean-François de Troy. Edelinck, a Flemish engraver who spent his career in Paris, earned a reputation for his technical precision and ability to translate the textures of oil paint into the medium of copperplate engraving. His work was highly regarded by the French court, and he was appointed as the engraver to the King.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe portrait captures the young Duke in a formal, three-quarter view, set within a classic oval frame. He wears the elaborate wig characteristic of the late seventeenth-century French aristocracy, along with a lace cravat and a coat adorned with the insignia of the Order of the Holy Spirit. Edelinck employs a variety of hatching techniques to differentiate between the soft curls of the hair, the delicate lace of the jabot, and the metallic sheen of the embroidery on the coat. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the formal portraiture conventions of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the oval frame, a pedestal features the title of the subject and a heraldic emblem containing the fleur-de-lis. The background of the frame is rendered with fine, parallel lines that create a sense of depth and shadow, drawing the viewer's eye toward the central figure. This print provides a clear example of the high level of craftsmanship expected in royal portraiture during the reign of the Sun King. It remains a document of the visual language used to project authority and status within the French court. The print is executed with a high degree of technical control, demonstrating the mastery of line and tone that defined Edelinck's output.\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\/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":"Gérard Edelinck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442458923343,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442524819791,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442524852559,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442524885327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442524918095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442524950863,"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":58442524983631,"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":58442525016399,"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":58442525049167,"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":58442525081935,"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":58442525114703,"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":58442525147471,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Louis-Duke-of-Burgundy_Poster_CompositorV1_1786209732241.jpg?v=1786397444","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/louis-duke-of-burgundy-gerard-edelinck","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
