{"product_id":"six-saints-nicolo-boldrini","title":"Six Saints - Nicolò Boldrini","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century woodcut by Nicolò Boldrini, depicting a solemn assembly of six saints with precise line work and classical composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodcut by Nicolò Boldrini depicts a gathering of six figures, traditionally identified as saints. The composition is arranged in a frieze-like manner, typical of Venetian printmaking during the sixteenth century. Boldrini, known for his collaboration with Titian, demonstrates a mastery of the woodcut medium here, using varied line weights to define the heavy folds of ecclesiastical robes and the anatomical musculature of the central male figure, likely Saint Sebastian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figures are positioned with a sense of quiet interaction. On the left, a semi-nude man stands with his hands bound behind his back, an arrow piercing his chest. Beside him, a monk in a habit holds a cross, looking towards a central group. This group includes a bishop in elaborate vestments, holding a crozier and reading from an open book, flanked by other figures who contribute to the narrative density of the scene. The background is rendered with horizontal hatching, a technique that provides a neutral space for the figures to occupy without the need for complex architectural or naturalistic settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoldrini’s work reflects the technical sophistication of the period, where the woodcut was used to disseminate complex compositions to a wider audience. The attention to the textures of the fabrics, particularly the embroidered orphrey of the bishop's cope, shows the precision required to carve such detail into a wooden block. The print captures the gravity and solemnity associated with religious iconography of the Italian Renaissance. This museum-grade reproduction preserves the tonal range of the original impression, allowing for a clear view of the cross-hatching and the expressive characterisation of each saint's face. It is a representative example of the graphic arts in sixteenth-century Venice, where the dialogue between painting and printmaking was particularly active.\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\/sistine-chapel-ceiling-the-prophet-joel-michelangelo\" 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;\"\u003eSistine Chapel Ceiling: The Prophet Joel - Michelangelo — Michelangelo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/guillaume-bude-jean-clouet-1\" 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;\"\u003eGuillaume Budé - Jean Clouet — Jean Clouet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nicolò Boldrini","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58667600085327,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58667608015183,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58667608047951,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58667608080719,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58667608113487,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58667608146255,"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":58667608179023,"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":58667608211791,"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":58667608244559,"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":58667608277327,"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":58667608310095,"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":58667608342863,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Six-Saints_Poster_CompositorV1_1788513323668.jpg?v=1788514471","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/six-saints-nicolo-boldrini","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
