{"product_id":"madonna-and-child-timothy-cole","title":"Madonna and Child - Timothy Cole","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine wood engraving by Timothy Cole, capturing the serene composition of a Madonna and Child in the style of the Italian Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimothy Cole was a master of the wood engraving technique, a craft he refined during his long tenure with The Century Magazine. This print demonstrates his ability to translate the tonal qualities of Italian Renaissance painting into the monochromatic language of the woodblock. By employing a dense network of fine lines, Cole replicates the soft modelling of the figures and the architectural details of the throne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the traditional iconographic form of the Madonna and Child, likely inspired by the trecento masters of the Florentine school. The Virgin sits upon a throne, her gaze directed towards the infant, who reaches upward. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of volume within the figures, while the decorative elements of the throne provide a structured backdrop. Cole's technical precision allows for a subtle gradation of tone, which mimics the appearance of a painting despite the mechanical constraints of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCole spent many years in Europe, specifically Italy, where he produced a series of engravings based on Old Master paintings. This work is representative of that period, reflecting his dedication to capturing the spirit of the original compositions through meticulous hand-carving. The print serves as a record of his skill in interpreting historical art for a contemporary audience, maintaining the integrity of the original forms while adapting them for reproduction. The signature at the base confirms his personal oversight of the printing process, ensuring the quality of the final impression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy Cole","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58464046448975,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58464057950543,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58464057983311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58464058016079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58464058048847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58464058081615,"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":58464058114383,"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":58464058147151,"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":58464058179919,"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":58464058212687,"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":58464058245455,"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":58464058278223,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Madonna-and-Child_Poster_CompositorV1_1786270688374.jpg?v=1786579306","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/madonna-and-child-timothy-cole","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
