{"product_id":"palazzo-di-negro-peter-paul-rubens","title":"Palazzo Di Negro - Peter Paul Rubens","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn architectural engraving by Peter Paul Rubens from his 1622 study of Genoese palaces, showcasing the precise facade of the Palazzo Di Negro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving depicts the facade of the Palazzo Di Negro in Genoa, a subject documented by Peter Paul Rubens during his extensive travels in Italy. Published in his 1622 volume, 'Palazzi di Genova', the work captures the precise architectural proportions of the Genoese nobility's residences. Rubens, primarily known for his painterly compositions, demonstrated a keen interest in classical architecture and the structural order of the Italian Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print presents a formal, two-dimensional elevation of the building. It displays a rigorous symmetry, with the ground floor featuring rusticated masonry and arched openings. The upper levels are articulated with columns and rectangular windows, topped by a balustrade and a hipped roof. The artist employs clean, precise lines to define the structural elements, avoiding unnecessary shading to ensure the architectural details remain clear for the viewer. This approach reflects the practical purpose of the publication, which functioned as a reference for architects and patrons of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy documenting these structures, Rubens provided a record of the urban development in Genoa. The engraving shows the influence of classical principles on the design of private palaces, where the arrangement of columns and the spacing of windows follow strict mathematical ratios. The work offers a view into the aesthetic preferences of the seventeenth-century elite, who sought to project power and stability through the design of their homes. For the modern observer, this print provides a technical look at the intersection of art and architecture during the Baroque era. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of European building design and the multifaceted career of Rubens.\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":"Peter Paul Rubens","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58603823628623,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58603891654991,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58603891687759,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58603891720527,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58603891753295,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58603891786063,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58603891818831,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58603891851599,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58603891884367,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58603891917135,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58603891949903,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58603891982671,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Palazzo-Di-Negro_Poster_CompositorV1_1788058579203.jpg?v=1788093436","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/palazzo-di-negro-peter-paul-rubens","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
