{"product_id":"victory-at-heluo-heshi-jean-denis-attiret","title":"Victory at Heluo Heshi - Jean Denis Attiret","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed copperplate engraving depicting a cavalry battle, produced as part of an imperial commission for the Qianlong Emperor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving belongs to a series commissioned by the Qianlong Emperor to commemorate the military campaigns in the Western Regions. Jean Denis Attiret, a Jesuit missionary and court painter in Beijing, contributed to the design of these works. The composition reflects a synthesis of European perspective and traditional Chinese aesthetic values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a cavalry engagement, capturing the movement of horses and archers across a rugged terrain. The artist employs fine lines to delineate the figures, weaponry, and the surrounding topography. The inclusion of mountains in the distance provides a sense of scale, while the foreground focuses on the immediate action of the battle. The integration of calligraphy into the upper section of the print is a characteristic feature of this series, as the text provides the Emperor's own poetic commentary on the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work demonstrates the influence of European printmaking techniques introduced to the Qing court. The shading and modelling of the forms differ from traditional Chinese ink wash methods, showing a preference for the precision of the burin. This series was produced in Paris under the direction of Charles-Nicolas Cochin, ensuring that the final prints met the standards of the French royal court. The result is a document that records both the political ambitions of the Qing dynasty and the cross-cultural exchange between European artists and the Chinese imperial administration. The print offers a view into the military history of the period, presented through a lens that balances descriptive accuracy with the formal requirements of imperial propaganda.\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\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" 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;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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 Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Denis Attiret","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58902459580751,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58902576136527,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58902576169295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58902576202063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58902576234831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58902576267599,"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":58902576300367,"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":58902576333135,"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":58902576365903,"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":58902576398671,"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":58902576431439,"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":58902576464207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Victory-at-Heluo-Heshi_Poster_CompositorV1_1790583138647.jpg?v=1790587686","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/victory-at-heluo-heshi-jean-denis-attiret","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
