The statue features a rearing horse atop an elaborate pedestal. The pedestal is adorned with classical architectural elements, including columns, niches, and decorative carvings. The sketch is executed with fine, delicate lines, typical of Michelangelo's drawing style. The composition is relatively simple, focusing on the overall form and proportions of the statue. The level of detail suggests that this was a preparatory study for a larger sculpture project. \n\nHenry II reigned as King of France from 1547 until his death in 1559. During his reign, France experienced a period of relative peace and prosperity. Henry II was a patron of the arts, and his court was a centre of artistic and cultural activity. Michelangelo was one of the most important artists of the High Renaissance. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, and poet. His most famous works include the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the statue of David.\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\/christ-mocked-fra-angelico\" 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;\"\u003eChrist Mocked - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bathsheba-bathing-jean-bourdichon\" 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;\"\u003eBathsheba Bathing - Jean Bourdichon — Jean Bourdichon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/michelangelo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Michelangelo →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michelangelo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57425284202831,"sku":null,"price":25.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57425288986959,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57425289019727,"sku":null,"price":38.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57425289118031,"sku":null,"price":47.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57425289150799,"sku":null,"price":47.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57425289183567,"sku":null,"price":47.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57425289216335,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57425289249103,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57425289281871,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57425289314639,"sku":null,"price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57425289347407,"sku":null,"price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57425289380175,"sku":null,"price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_c260479c-e46d-4515-a3b5-a3c9b58639e2.jpg?v=1777254599"},{"product_id":"sistine-chapel-ceiling-the-brazen-serpent-michelangelo","title":"Sistine Chapel Ceiling: The Brazen Serpent - Michelangelo","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichelangelo's 'The Brazen Serpent' is a fresco from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, depicting a scene from the Book of Numbers.

Completed between 1508 and 1512, the ceiling presents a complex system of decoration featuring scenes from the Book of Genesis, along with prophets, sibyls, and the ancestors of Christ. Michelangelo's work is a cornerstone of High Renaissance art, demonstrating his mastery of anatomy, perspective, and narrative composition. The Sistine Chapel is located within the Vatican City. \n\n'The Brazen Serpent' depicts a scene from the Book of Numbers, in which God sends venomous snakes to punish the Israelites for their complaints against Him and Moses. As people die from snake bites, Moses prays for deliverance. God instructs Moses to mount a bronze serpent on a pole; those who look upon it are healed. Michelangelo portrays the chaos and suffering of the Israelites, with figures writhing in agony, succumbing to the snake bites, or seeking salvation by gazing at the bronze serpent.

The fresco illustrates the moment when Eve accepts the forbidden fruit from the serpent, leading to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. \n\nThe composition shows Adam and Eve on either side of the Tree of Knowledge. Eve, seated, reaches for the fruit offered by the serpent, which is depicted with a human torso. Adam stands nearby, his arm extended towards the tree.

Executed between 1508 and 1512, the frescoes represent scenes from the Old Testament, along with the ancestors of Christ. These figures are painted in the lunettes, the semi-circular spaces above the windows. Michelangelo employed the technique of fresco, painting directly onto the wet plaster of the ceiling. \n\nThe composition shows two figures, Achim and Eliud, accompanied by children. To the left, an older man with a beard sits with his arms crossed, while a child stands beside him. On the right, a woman sits on a stool, with a child behind her. A tablet between them bears the names 'Achim' and 'Eliud'. The figures are rendered with a sculptural quality, typical of Michelangelo's style, and are set against a neutral architectural background.

The prophet's gaze is directed downwards, perhaps contemplating the text before him. His clothing is rendered in shades of yellow, green, and red, with complex drapery. The figure is set against an architectural background, painted to simulate stone. The overall palette is muted, with earth tones dominating.

The figures are set within the architectural framework of the lunette, with painted pilasters and a triangular pediment. Above, nude figures painted in bronze tones flank a central cartouche. The fresco's palette is restrained, with muted earth tones and subtle gradations of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and volume. The figures' expressions and gestures convey a sense of weariness and resignation, reflecting the human condition and the weight of history.\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\/christ-mocked-fra-angelico\" 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;\"\u003eChrist Mocked - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bathsheba-bathing-jean-bourdichon\" 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;\"\u003eBathsheba Bathing - Jean Bourdichon — Jean Bourdichon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michelangelo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57499520172367,"sku":null,"price":19.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57538710274383,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57538710307151,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57538710339919,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57538710372687,"sku":null,"price":38.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57538710405455,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57538710438223,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57538710470991,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57538710503759,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57538710536527,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57538710569295,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57538710602063,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57538710634831,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57538710667599,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57538710700367,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57538710733135,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57538710765903,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57538710798671,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57538710831439,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57538710864207,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_d57362da-39cb-472d-86ec-1107846f37a1.jpg?v=1777160485"},{"product_id":"crucifixion-michelangelo","title":"Crucifixion - Michelangelo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wood carving of the Crucifixion attributed to Michelangelo, c. 1492, depicts the nude body of Christ affixed to the cross.

The work depicts the nude body of Christ affixed to the cross. The figure's anatomy is rendered with careful attention to musculature and proportion, characteristic of the Renaissance focus on humanism and classical ideals. The face of Christ is tilted downwards, conveying a sense of suffering and resignation. The cross itself is simple and unadorned, drawing attention to the central figure. Above Christ's head is a plaque with an inscription. The sculpture is rendered in a light-brown wood, set against a plain off-white background, which allows the details of the carving to be clearly seen. The work is a powerful representation of a central scene in Christian theology, rendered by one of the most important artists of the High Renaissance.

Completed between 1508 and 1512, the ceiling presents a complex theological programme, with scenes from the Book of Genesis at its centre. Michelangelo's work is a cornerstone of High Renaissance art, demonstrating his mastery of anatomy, perspective, and narrative composition. His frescoes influenced generations of artists and remain a high point of Western art. \n\n'God Dividing Land and Water' depicts the moment of creation when God separates the elements. God is shown as a muscular, bearded figure, his powerful form dominating the composition. He is enveloped in swirling drapery, which adds a sense of movement and drama to the scene. Around him, smaller figures, possibly representing angels or other divine beings, assist in the act of creation. The figures are rendered with careful attention to anatomical detail, showcasing Michelangelo's skill in depicting the human form. The colour palette is relatively muted, with earth tones and subtle gradations of light and shadow, typical of fresco painting. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in complex poses that convey a sense of energy and divine power.\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\/christ-mocked-fra-angelico\" 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;\"\u003eChrist Mocked - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bathsheba-bathing-jean-bourdichon\" 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;\"\u003eBathsheba Bathing - Jean Bourdichon — Jean Bourdichon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michelangelo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57502501437775,"sku":null,"price":19.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57504910934351,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57504910967119,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57504910999887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57504911032655,"sku":null,"price":38.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57504911065423,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57504911098191,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57504911130959,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57504911163727,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57504911196495,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57504911229263,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57504911262031,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57504911294799,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57504911327567,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57504911360335,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57504911393103,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57504911425871,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57504911458639,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57504911491407,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57504911524175,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_7e0f09eb-0677-4e68-a7d9-06a16b2cbc26.jpg?v=1777246403"},{"product_id":"the-ancestors-of-christ-jacob-joseph-michelangelo","title":"The Ancestors of Christ: Jacob, Joseph - Michelangelo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA section of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, this fresco depicts Jacob and Joseph, ancestors of Christ, rendered in the artist's signature sculptural style and muted colour palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis fresco depicts Jacob and Joseph, ancestors of Christ, and forms part of Michelangelo's extensive decoration of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commissioned by Pope Julius II. Painted between 1508 and 1512, these frescoes represent a high point of the High Renaissance. Michelangelo's work aimed to present a comprehensive vision of humanity's spiritual history. The artist divided the ceiling into sections, using architectural elements to frame different scenes from Genesis and the lineage of Christ. \n\nThe fresco presents a group of figures arranged in a confined space. Jacob, an elderly man with a long white beard, sits draped in a yellow robe, his expression contemplative. Beside him, other figures are partially obscured, adding to the sense of depth and complexity. On the right, a woman sits with two children, one of whom is playfully reaching across her. The figures are rendered with a sculptural quality, typical of Michelangelo's style, emphasising their muscularity and volume. The colour palette is muted, dominated by earth tones and subtle gradations of light and shadow, which enhance the figures' three-dimensionality. The architectural setting is suggested by the curved arch above, decorated with classical motifs.\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\/christ-mocked-fra-angelico\" 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;\"\u003eChrist Mocked - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bathsheba-bathing-jean-bourdichon\" 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;\"\u003eBathsheba Bathing - Jean Bourdichon — Jean Bourdichon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Michelangelo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57503046598991,"sku":null,"price":19.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57511478165839,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57511478198607,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57511478231375,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57511478264143,"sku":null,"price":38.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57511478296911,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57511478329679,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57511478362447,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57511478395215,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57511478427983,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57511478460751,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57511478493519,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57511478526287,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57511478559055,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57511478591823,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57511478624591,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57511478657359,"sku":null,"price":93.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57511478690127,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57511478722895,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57511478755663,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_cb3be754-2940-4643-8041-dacb772d1883.jpg?v=1777248331"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/michelangelo.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
