{"product_id":"landscape-with-a-wheatfield-jean-morin","title":"Landscape with a Wheatfield - Jean Morin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century etching by Jean Morin, depicting a rural scene with a wheatfield and distant hills, based on a painting by Jacques Fouquier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Jean Morin, a French printmaker active in the seventeenth century, demonstrates the technical precision characteristic of his work. The composition is based on a painting by Jacques Fouquier, as indicated by the inscription 'J. Fouquier Pinx' at the bottom of the plate. Morin was known for his ability to translate the tonal qualities of oil paintings into the monochromatic medium of etching, often employing a mix of etching and engraving to achieve varied textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a rural vista, with a wheatfield occupying the foreground and a cluster of farm buildings situated to the left. A group of figures rests in the shade of a large tree on the right, providing a sense of scale to the expansive view. The middle ground reveals a river winding through the countryside towards distant hills, while the sky is filled with voluminous, rolling clouds. Morin uses a combination of fine lines and cross-hatching to define the foliage, the texture of the grain, and the atmospheric depth of the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the seventeenth-century interest in pastoral subjects, where the natural world is presented with a balance of observation and idealisation. The print captures a quiet moment in the French countryside, focusing on the interplay between light and shadow across the terrain. The inclusion of the 'cum Privil. Regis' inscription suggests that this print was produced with royal privilege, a common practice for high-quality reproductive prints of the period. As a fine art print, this piece offers a glimpse into the collaborative relationship between painters and printmakers during the Baroque era, where the dissemination of visual ideas relied upon the skill of the engraver to reach a wider audience beyond the original canvas.\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\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" 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;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jean Morin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520688394575,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520693244239,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520693277007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520693309775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520693342543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520693375311,"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":58520693408079,"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":58520693440847,"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":58520693473615,"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":58520693506383,"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":58520693539151,"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":58520693571919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape-with-a-Wheatfield_Poster_CompositorV1_1786479848012.jpg?v=1787169325","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/landscape-with-a-wheatfield-jean-morin","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
