{"product_id":"maagd-maria-the-virgin-mary-erin-corr","title":"Maagd Maria (The Virgin Mary) - Erin Corr","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined nineteenth-century engraving by Erin Corr, depicting the Virgin Mary in a serene, contemplative portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Erin Corr depicts the Virgin Mary in a moment of quiet contemplation. Corr, an Irish engraver who spent much of his career in Belgium, was known for his technical precision and his ability to translate the tonal qualities of oil paintings into the medium of print. The work demonstrates the characteristic refinement of nineteenth-century reproductive engraving, where the artist used a series of fine lines and cross-hatching to build form and shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition focuses on the head and shoulders of the figure, who is shown with eyes cast downward in a gesture of humility. The drapery of her head covering and garment is rendered with careful attention to the fall of fabric, creating a sense of volume and weight. The background remains dark and unobtrusive, which directs the viewer's attention to the soft modelling of the face and the gentle expression of the subject. This approach to portraiture reflects the aesthetic values of the period, which favoured balanced compositions and a clear, legible depiction of the human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a reproductive engraver, Corr often worked from existing paintings to create prints for a wider audience. This piece captures the serene atmosphere typical of religious iconography from the era. The print shows the patience required in the engraving process, where every mark on the copper plate contributes to the final tonal range. The result is a work that possesses a calm, meditative quality, suitable for a variety of interior settings. The print is presented here with the clarity of the original plate, preserving the texture and detail of Corr's handiwork.\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-education-of-achilles-charles-clement-bervic\" 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 Education of Achilles - Charles Clément Bervic — Charles Clément Bervic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/madonna-del-sacco-raphael-morghen\" 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;\"\u003eMadonna del Sacco - Raphael Morghen — Raffaello Sanzio Morghen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Erin Corr","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759048298831,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759061897551,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759061930319,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759061963087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759061995855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759062028623,"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":58759062061391,"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":58759062094159,"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":58759062126927,"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":58759062159695,"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":58759062192463,"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":58759062225231,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Maagd-Maria-The-Virgin-Mary-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789229975228.jpg?v=1789230396","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/maagd-maria-the-virgin-mary-erin-corr","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
