{"product_id":"palazzo-doria-peter-paul-rubens","title":"Palazzo Doria - Peter Paul Rubens","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn architectural engraving by Peter Paul Rubens from his 1622 publication, Palazzi di Genova, depicting the formal facade of the Palazzo Spinola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving originates from the publication 'Palazzi di Genova', a collection of architectural studies compiled by Peter Paul Rubens during his time in Italy. Published in 1622, the work documents the design of various Genoese residences, reflecting the influence of Italian Renaissance and early Baroque architecture on the artist. This specific plate depicts the facade of the Palazzo Spinola, later known as the Palazzo Doria, showcasing the precise, measured approach Rubens took to documenting the structural proportions of these buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image presents a formal elevation of the building, emphasising the symmetry and classical order characteristic of the period. The composition is strictly frontal, providing a clear view of the ground floor entrance, the arrangement of windows, and the roofline details. The use of line work is clean and methodical, typical of architectural engravings intended for study and reference. By documenting these structures, Rubens provided a record of the urban development in Genoa, which was then a centre of significant wealth and architectural innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his more painterly works, this print demonstrates the analytical side of Rubens, who possessed a keen interest in classical architecture. The inclusion of a scale at the bottom of the print indicates its practical purpose as a reference for architects and patrons. The print captures the restrained elegance of the facade, with its balanced distribution of elements and lack of excessive ornamentation. It remains a valuable historical document for those interested in the evolution of European domestic architecture and the intersection of artistic documentation with structural design.\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":58603926028623,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58604225593679,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58604225626447,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604225659215,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604225691983,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604225724751,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604225757519,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604225790287,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604225823055,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604225855823,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604225888591,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604225921359,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Palazzo-Doria_Poster_CompositorV1_1788061100133.jpg?v=1788096523","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/palazzo-doria-peter-paul-rubens","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
