{"product_id":"michel-lepelletier-pierre-michel-alix","title":"Michel Lepelletier - Pierre Michel Alix","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined aquatint portrait of French revolutionary figure Michel Lepelletier, captured with the technical precision of engraver Pierre Michel Alix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Louis-Michel le Peletier de Saint-Fargeau, a French politician and martyr of the French Revolution. Executed by the engraver Pierre Michel Alix, the work employs the aquatint technique to achieve soft, tonal gradations that mimic the appearance of a wash drawing. The subject is presented within a trompe l'oeil oval frame, a common device in late eighteenth-century portraiture intended to provide a sense of depth and physical presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLepelletier is shown in a three-quarter view, his gaze directed away from the viewer. He wears the typical attire of the period, including a high-collared coat with a contrasting lapel and a voluminous cravat. The artist focuses on the sitter's features, capturing a contemplative expression that aligns with the gravity of his political role during the revolutionary period. The surrounding border features a faux-marble effect, adding a decorative element that contrasts with the sobriety of the central portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Michel Alix was a skilled practitioner of colour printing, a process that required multiple plates to achieve the subtle hues seen in this impression. His work often documented the figures of the Revolution, providing a visual record of the individuals who shaped French political life at the end of the eighteenth century. This print offers a clear example of the technical precision required for high-quality aquatint production during this era. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the aesthetic values of the Neoclassical period, where clarity and order were prioritised over excessive ornamentation. The inclusion of the sitter's name at the base of the oval frame serves as a direct identification, typical of commemorative portrait prints intended for circulation among the public or political sympathisers.\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\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" 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;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/treffen-tussen-fielding-en-van-bylandt-simon-fokke\" 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;\"\u003eTreffen tussen Fielding en Van Bylandt - Simon Fokke — Simon Fokke\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pierre Michel Alix","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58735062483279,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58735068283215,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58735068315983,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58735068348751,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58735068381519,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58735068414287,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58735068447055,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58735068479823,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58735068512591,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58735068545359,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58735068578127,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58735068610895,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Michel-Lepelletier_Poster_CompositorV1_1789033724149.jpg?v=1789034345","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/michel-lepelletier-pierre-michel-alix","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
