{"product_id":"premier-consul-antoine-jean-weber","title":"Premier Consul - Antoine Jean Weber","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed lithograph by Antoine Jean Weber depicting Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul, captured in a classic military pose on horseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph by Antoine Jean Weber depicts Napoleon Bonaparte during his tenure as First Consul of France. The composition draws heavily upon the established iconography of the era, presenting the leader in a commanding posture atop a rearing white charger. His right arm is extended, directing attention toward an unseen objective, a gesture common in military portraiture of the early nineteenth century to denote authority and strategic foresight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical execution of the lithograph demonstrates the precision required by the medium. Weber employs a range of grey tones to define the texture of the horse's coat, the intricate details of the military uniform, and the rugged, mountainous terrain in the background. The sky, rendered with soft, atmospheric shading, provides a dramatic backdrop that contrasts with the sharp, controlled lines of the figure and the animal. The horse is captured in a moment of controlled energy, its musculature and tack rendered with careful attention to anatomical accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a piece of historical documentation, the print reflects the visual language used to construct the image of the French state during the Consulate period. The work avoids excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the clarity of the subject and the symbolic weight of the military leader. The inclusion of the title 'Premier Consul' at the base of the print identifies the specific political phase of Napoleon's career depicted here, prior to his coronation as Emperor. This print serves as an example of the widespread dissemination of Napoleonic imagery through the medium of lithography, which allowed for the mass production of high-quality portraits for a public audience. The work remains a clear representation of the aesthetic values prevalent in French printmaking during the mid-nineteenth century, prioritising formal balance and historical narrative.\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\/odalisque-jean-auguste-dominique-ingres\" 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;\"\u003eOdalisque - Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres — Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-an-officer-sketching-antoine-charles-horace-vernet\" 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 an Officer Sketching - Antoine-Charles-Horace Vernet — Antoine-Charles-Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antoine Jean Weber","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785291731279,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785302806863,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785302839631,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58785302872399,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58785302905167,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58785302937935,"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":58785302970703,"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":58785303003471,"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":58785303036239,"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":58785303069007,"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":58785303101775,"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":58785303134543,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Premier-Consul_Poster_CompositorV1_1789428456366.jpg?v=1789429185","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/premier-consul-antoine-jean-weber","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
