{"product_id":"santvoort-roelant-roghman","title":"Santvoort - Roelant Roghman","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century etching by Roelant Roghman, capturing the coastal village of Zandvoort amidst its characteristic sandy dunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Roelant Roghman depicts the coastal village of Zandvoort, identified by the inscription 'Santvoort' in the upper centre. Roghman, a Dutch painter and etcher active during the seventeenth century, produced a series of topographical prints documenting various locations across the Netherlands. His work often focuses on the interplay between the low-lying coastal terrain and the modest architecture of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct zones. In the foreground, the artist employs varied hatching techniques to render the undulating, sandy dunes characteristic of the Dutch coastline. Small figures traverse a path, providing a sense of scale against the vast, open sky. The middle ground features the village itself, with its church spire rising above the cluster of houses. The horizon line is kept low, allowing the expansive, cloud-filled sky to dominate the upper portion of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoghman’s technique relies on the precision of the etched line to suggest texture and atmospheric depth. The sky is rendered with horizontal strokes that convey the movement of clouds, while the dunes are defined by denser, more irregular marks that capture the shifting nature of the sand. This print offers a view into the historical topography of the region, reflecting the interest of Dutch artists in the specificities of their own geography. The work is a clear example of the seventeenth-century tradition of topographical documentation, where the artist balances descriptive accuracy with the stylistic conventions of the etching medium. It remains a record of the village before the significant urban expansion that occurred in later centuries.\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-horse-and-the-lion-claude-gillot\" 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 Horse and the Lion - Claude Gillot — Claude Gillot\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gezicht-op-slot-loevestein-hendrik-spilman\" 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;\"\u003eGezicht op Slot Loevestein - Hendrik Spilman — Hendrik Spilman\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roelant Roghman","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443625136463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443629625679,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443629658447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443629691215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443629723983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443629756751,"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":58443629789519,"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":58443629822287,"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":58443629855055,"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":58443629887823,"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":58443629920591,"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":58443629953359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Santvoort_Poster_CompositorV1_1786235049251.jpg?v=1786416223","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/santvoort-roelant-roghman","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
