{"product_id":"nativity-detail-neri-di-bicci","title":"Nativity (Detail) - Neri di Bicci","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed view from a fifteenth-century Nativity scene by Florentine painter Neri di Bicci, capturing a rural journey through a serene, hilly terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis detail originates from a larger panel painting depicting the Nativity, attributed to the Florentine artist Neri di Bicci. Active during the mid-fifteenth century, Neri di Bicci managed a prolific workshop in Florence, producing numerous religious works for local churches and private patrons. His style remains grounded in the traditions of the late Gothic period, even as the innovations of the early Renaissance began to permeate the artistic output of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene captures a rural passage, likely representing the journey of shepherds or figures approaching the site of the birth. A solitary figure walks along a winding path, carrying a small basket and a staff. The composition employs a high horizon line, a common feature in works of this era, which allows for a panoramic view of the surrounding terrain. In the distance, a second figure is visible, traversing the rolling hills towards a cluster of trees. The background features a pale, atmospheric sky above distant mountains, rendered with a soft, muted palette that contrasts with the more defined foreground elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeri di Bicci is known for his meticulous record-keeping, documented in his 'Ricordanze', which provides insight into the daily operations of a fifteenth-century workshop. This specific detail demonstrates his approach to narrative storytelling within a religious context. The figures are rendered with a focus on clarity and descriptive detail, typical of his workshop's output. The painting surface shows characteristic craquelure, consistent with the age of the tempera medium on wood panel. This print offers a glimpse into the secondary narratives often included in larger devotional paintings, where the artist could incorporate elements of daily life and observation alongside the primary theological subject matter.\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\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" 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;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neri di Bicci","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58750413832527,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58750419403087,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58750419435855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58750419468623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58750419501391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58750419534159,"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":58750419566927,"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":58750419599695,"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":58750419632463,"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":58750419665231,"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":58750419697999,"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":58750419730767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Nativity-Detail-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789148929467.jpg?v=1789149485","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/nativity-detail-neri-di-bicci","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
