{"product_id":"christ-in-the-tomb-joseph-hauber","title":"Christ in the Tomb - Joseph Hauber","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn etching by Joseph Hauber depicting the figure of Christ in the tomb, rendered with detailed cross-hatching and dramatic lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by the German artist Joseph Hauber depicts the figure of Christ resting within a tomb. The composition focuses on the physical form of the subject, rendered through a dense network of cross-hatched lines that define both the anatomy and the surrounding shadows. Hauber employs a technique common to the period, using varying line density to create a sense of volume and atmosphere within the confined space of the sepulchre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure of Christ is positioned in a reclining posture, his gaze directed downward. To the right, a lamp provides a source of illumination, casting light across the scene and creating a contrast between the highlighted areas of the body and the dark, textured background. The inclusion of a basin and cloth near the feet suggests the ritual preparation of the body, a detail that adds a narrative layer to the work. The artist's signature, J. Hauber fecit, is visible in the lower left corner, confirming the authorship of this print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoseph Hauber was active during a period when printmaking served as a primary medium for the dissemination of religious and historical imagery. His approach to this subject reflects the stylistic conventions of the early nineteenth century, prioritising clear anatomical structure and dramatic lighting. The work demonstrates a technical proficiency in the use of the etching needle, with the cross-hatching creating a tactile quality across the surface of the paper. This print offers a study in light and shadow, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation. It remains a representative example of the graphic work produced by Hauber during his career in Munich, where he was involved in both painting and printmaking. The composition avoids excessive ornamentation, keeping the viewer's attention fixed on the central figure and the sombre atmosphere of the tomb.\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=\"\/de\/products\/acquavitaro-brandy-and-spirits-seller-bartolomeo-pinelli\" 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;\"\u003eAcquavitaro (Brandy and Spirits Seller) - Bartolomeo Pinelli — Bartolomeo Pinelli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/allegorie-op-het-herstel-van-nederland-wijnand-esser\" 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;\"\u003eAllegorie op het herstel van Nederland - Wijnand Esser — Wijnand Esser\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Joseph Hauber","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58707395936591,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58707491815759,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58707491848527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58707491881295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58707491914063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58707491946831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58707491979599,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58707492012367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58707492045135,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58707492077903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58707492110671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58707492143439,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-in-the-Tomb_Poster_CompositorV1_1788808065746.jpg?v=1788808559","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/christ-in-the-tomb-joseph-hauber","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
