{"product_id":"christ-mocked-lucas-van-leyden","title":"Christ Mocked - Lucas van Leyden","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1509 engraving by Lucas van Leyden depicting the Mocking of Christ within a decorative circular frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving, dated 1509, represents an early work by the Dutch master Lucas van Leyden. Created when the artist was approximately fifteen years old, the print demonstrates his technical command of the burin and his ability to organise complex narrative scenes within a circular frame. The composition depicts the biblical episode of the Mocking of Christ, where soldiers taunt the central figure. Christ sits, blindfolded and bound, while his tormentors surround him in a tight, agitated group. Van Leyden employs a variety of hatching techniques to define the forms, textures of clothing, and the play of light across the figures. The circular border is decorated with foliage and small putti, a stylistic choice that frames the central drama while providing a decorative contrast to the sombre subject matter. The artist includes his characteristic monogram, an L, near the base of the scene. This work reflects the influence of Albrecht Dürer, whose prints were circulating widely in the Netherlands at the time, yet it maintains a distinct approach to characterisation and spatial arrangement. The figures are rendered with a sense of individual personality, from the aggressive postures of the soldiers to the resigned stillness of Christ. The print provides insight into the early development of one of the most significant printmakers of the sixteenth century, showing his capacity to manage multiple figures and narrative tension within a constrained space. The precision of the lines and the balance of the composition demonstrate a maturity that belies the youth of the artist at the time of production.\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\/the-peasants-at-market-albrecht-durer\" 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 Peasants at Market - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-sixth-angel-sounds-the-trumpet-gerard-de-jode\" 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 Sixth Angel Sounds the Trumpet - Gerard de Jode — Gerard de Jode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lucas van Leyden","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416410362191,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416495591759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58416495624527,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416495657295,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416495690063,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416495722831,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416495755599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416495788367,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416495821135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58416495853903,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58416495886671,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58416495919439,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-Mocked_Poster_CompositorV1_1786144028129.jpg?v=1786144164","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/christ-mocked-lucas-van-leyden","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
