{"product_id":"saint-philip-zacharias-dolendo","title":"Saint Philip - Zacharias Dolendo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed circular engraving of Saint Philip by Dutch artist Zacharias Dolendo, featuring precise line work and classic Mannerist proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis circular engraving by Zacharias Dolendo depicts Saint Philip, the Apostle, in a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition is contained within a tondo, a format frequently employed in the late sixteenth century for devotional series. Dolendo, a Dutch engraver active in Leiden, demonstrates his technical proficiency through the use of varied line weights to define the saint's features and the folds of his drapery. The figure is shown in a half-length pose, holding a staff, which serves as his traditional attribute, while his gaze is directed towards an open book resting before him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work reflects the influence of the Haarlem school, particularly the designs of Jacques de Gheyn II, whose name appears at the base of the print. The cross-hatching and stippling techniques create a sense of volume and texture, particularly in the rendering of the saint's beard and the heavy fabric of his robes. The background is kept dark to ensure the figure remains the primary focus, a common practice in printmaking of this period to provide clarity and depth. The Latin inscription, S. PHILIPPVS APOSTOL, identifies the subject clearly, adhering to the conventions of religious print series produced for both private collectors and ecclesiastical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolendo's approach to the human form displays the elongated proportions and expressive facial features characteristic of Northern Mannerism. The saint's expression is one of introspection, suggesting a narrative of scholarly devotion rather than active martyrdom. This print offers a clear example of the high level of craftsmanship found in Dutch printmaking during the late Renaissance, where the collaboration between designers and engravers allowed for the mass production of high-quality religious imagery.\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\/saint-judas-thadeus-agostino-carracci\" 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;\"\u003eSaint Judas Thadeus - Agostino Carracci — Agostino Carracci\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-descent-of-the-holy-spirit-cornelis-cort\" 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 Descent of the Holy Spirit - Cornelis Cort — Cornelis Cort\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zacharias Dolendo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58601408430415,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58601415049551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58601415082319,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58601415115087,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58601415147855,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58601415180623,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58601415213391,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58601415246159,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58601415278927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58601415311695,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58601415344463,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58601415377231,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-Philip_Poster_CompositorV1_1788046946824.jpg?v=1788047242","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/saint-philip-zacharias-dolendo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
