{"product_id":"charles-dhozier-gerard-edelinck","title":"Charles d'Hozier - Gérard Edelinck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century engraving by Gérard Edelinck, portraying the French genealogist Charles d'Hozier in formal attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Gérard Edelinck depicts Charles d'Hozier, a figure of significant administrative standing in the French court of the late seventeenth century. Edelinck, a Flemish engraver who spent much of his career in Paris, earned a reputation for his technical precision and his ability to translate the texture of oil paintings into the medium of copperplate engraving. His work often involved reproducing portraits by contemporary painters, and this piece demonstrates his mastery of tonal variation and line work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe portrait captures d'Hozier in a formal, three-quarter pose. He is dressed in the attire of his station, with a voluminous periwig that frames his face. His hand rests upon a book, a detail that references his professional role as a genealogist and historian. The background features a heavy curtain and a classical column, elements common in the portraiture of the era to convey authority and intellectual weight. The composition is balanced, with the subject positioned to command the viewer's attention while the surrounding objects provide context for his public life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdelinck employs a range of hatching techniques to define the folds of the fabric and the soft curls of the wig. The play of light across the subject's features and clothing creates a sense of volume and presence. At the base of the print, a cartouche containing a coat of arms and a detailed inscription identifies the sitter and his titles. This inclusion of heraldic and biographical information is characteristic of the period's approach to commemorative portraiture. The print serves as a record of the sitter's identity and professional status, rendered with the clarity and discipline that defined Edelinck's output during his time at the Gobelins manufactory.\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\/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\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" 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;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gérard Edelinck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442638295375,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442679484751,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442679517519,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442679550287,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442679583055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442679615823,"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":58442679648591,"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":58442679681359,"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":58442679714127,"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":58442679746895,"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":58442679779663,"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":58442679812431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Charles-d-Hozier_Poster_CompositorV1_1786210328246.jpg?v=1786398632","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/charles-dhozier-gerard-edelinck","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
