{"product_id":"bewening-valentin-geissler","title":"Bewening - Valentin Geißler","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sixteenth-century German woodcut depicting the Lamentation of Christ, rendered with the precise, graphic line work typical of the Northern Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodcut by the German printmaker Valentin Geißler depicts the Lamentation of Christ, a subject frequently explored by artists of the Northern Renaissance. The composition centres on the body of Christ, seated and supported by figures in a rocky, outdoor setting. To the left, the crown of thorns rests on the ground, serving as a reminder of the preceding events of the Passion. The figures surrounding the central subject display expressions of grief, their forms rendered with the characteristic linear style of sixteenth-century German woodblock printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeißler employs a clear, graphic approach to the scene. The lines are firm and descriptive, defining the musculature of Christ and the heavy folds of the garments worn by the mourners. The background includes a gnarled tree and architectural elements, which provide a sense of space despite the overall flatness of the medium. The work reflects the technical conventions of the period, where the woodcut served as a primary means for disseminating religious imagery to a wider audience. The artist uses hatching and cross-hatching to suggest volume and shadow, creating a sense of depth within the restricted tonal range of black ink on paper. This print is a representative example of the devotional art produced in the German-speaking lands during the mid-to-late sixteenth century, focusing on the emotional weight of the narrative through a disciplined, graphic technique.\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=\"\/fr\/products\/bewening-van-christus-hans-baldung-grien\" 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;\"\u003eBewening van Christus by Hans Baldung Grien\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-corpse-of-christ-ferdinand-piloty\" 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;\"\u003eThe Corpse of Christ by Ferdinand Piloty\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valentin Geißler","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115665523023,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115667489103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59115667521871,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115667554639,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115667587407,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115667620175,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115667652943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115667685711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115667718479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59115667751247,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59115667784015,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59115667816783,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bewening_Poster_CompositorV1_1791948896905.jpg?v=1791949621","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/bewening-valentin-geissler","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
