{"product_id":"la-mort-de-jesus-theophile-steinlen","title":"La Mort de Jésus - Théophile Steinlen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking lithograph by Théophile Steinlen, featuring a bold, graphic depiction of the crucifixion with expressive line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThéophile Steinlen, a figure associated with the bohemian circles of Montmartre, produced this stark lithograph depicting the crucifixion. Known primarily for his social commentary and depictions of Parisian life, Steinlen here turns his attention to a biblical subject. The composition is divided, with the foreground occupied by a group of figures in robes, their backs turned or faces obscured, creating a sense of collective mourning or observation. In the distance, the three crosses stand against a simplified horizon line, suggesting the hill of Golgotha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteinlen employs a bold, graphic style typical of his illustrative work. The lines are thick and expressive, prioritising form and mood over anatomical precision. The use of high-contrast black ink on paper creates a dramatic effect, drawing the eye to the central figures before moving toward the background scene. The text, integrated into the upper portion of the print, functions as a structural element within the composition. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to adapt his characteristic draughtsmanship to a sombre, historical theme. The figures in the foreground are rendered with minimal detail, yet their postures convey a heavy, contemplative atmosphere. The lack of shading and the reliance on contour lines reflect the influence of the poster art movement, which Steinlen helped shape during the late nineteenth century. This print offers a glimpse into the artist's broader body of work, which often explored themes of human suffering and social reality. By stripping away unnecessary detail, Steinlen focuses the viewer on the emotional weight of the scene, presenting a stark interpretation of a traditional subject.\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\/la-morphiniste-eugene-grasset\" 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;\"\u003eLa Morphiniste by Eugène Grasset\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/a-busy-market-scene-edward-penfield\" 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;\"\u003eA Busy Market Scene by Edward Penfield\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Théophile Steinlen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59484592144719,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59484592177487,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59484592210255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59484592243023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59484592275791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59484592308559,"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":59484592341327,"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":59484592374095,"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":59484592406863,"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":59484592439631,"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":59484592472399,"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":59484592505167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/La-Mort-de-J-sus_Poster_CompositorV1_1794529016654.jpg?v=1794529046","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/la-mort-de-jesus-theophile-steinlen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
