{"product_id":"oxen-santi-pacini","title":"Oxen - Santi Pacini","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed eighteenth-century etching by Santi Pacini, depicting oxen and figures in a pastoral setting, based on a drawing by Anton Domenico Gabbiani.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis etching by Santi Pacini depicts a rural scene featuring two oxen and figures attending to a cart. The work is based on a drawing by the Florentine artist Anton Domenico Gabbiani, as indicated by the inscription 'D. Gabbiani del' in the lower left corner. Pacini, an Italian engraver active during the eighteenth century, produced this plate as part of a larger series documenting the works of earlier masters.\n\nThe composition focuses on the physical form of the animals and the daily labour of the figures. One ox stands in profile, while the other rests on the ground in the foreground. The lines are precise and clean, characteristic of the etching techniques employed for reproductive printmaking during this period. The background remains minimal, providing a sense of space without distracting from the primary subjects. The figures atop the cart are rendered with simple, effective strokes that define their posture and interaction with the load.\n\nThis print reflects the eighteenth-century interest in documenting pastoral life and the systematic reproduction of drawings for wider circulation. The Roman numeral 'LXXXII' at the bottom centre suggests its inclusion in a numbered collection or catalogue of prints. The work demonstrates the technical skill required to translate the fluid quality of a pen-and-ink drawing into the permanent medium of an etched copper plate. It serves as a record of the artistic dialogue between the original draughtsman and the printmaker, preserving the visual language of the era for subsequent study.\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\/view-of-the-interior-of-the-basilica-of-saint-peter-at-the-vatican-giovanni-battista-piranesi\" 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;\"\u003eView of the Interior of the Basilica of Saint Peter at the Vatican - Giovanni Battista Piranesi — Giovanni Battista Piranesi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/arch-of-constantine-angelo-albanesi\" 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;\"\u003eArch of Constantine - Angelo Albanesi — Angelo Albanesi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sante Pacini","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58036239925583,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58036253294927,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58036253327695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58036253360463,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58036253393231,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Oxen_Poster_CompositorV1_1782267545443.jpg?v=1782268320","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/oxen-santi-pacini","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
