{"product_id":"solomon-receiving-gifts-ferdinand-bol","title":"Solomon Receiving Gifts - Ferdinand Bol","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Dutch Golden Age history painting by Ferdinand Bol, depicting King Solomon receiving tribute in a grand, atmospheric setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFerdinand Bol, a pupil of Rembrandt, produced this large-scale history painting during the mid-seventeenth century. The work depicts the biblical narrative of King Solomon receiving tribute. Bol employs a theatrical arrangement, placing the monarch upon a raised dais beneath classical architectural elements. The composition relies on a clear division between the regal figure of Solomon and the bustling crowd of attendants who bring various vessels and goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBol demonstrates his mastery of light and shadow, a technique inherited from his time in Rembrandt's studio. The illumination draws the eye toward the central exchange, where a young attendant offers a golden vessel to the king. The surrounding figures are rendered with attention to texture, from the metallic sheen of the platters to the heavy folds of the garments. The background features a distant, atmospheric view of a city at sunset, which provides a sense of scale and depth to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a practitioner of the Dutch Golden Age, Bol frequently turned to biblical and mythological subjects to satisfy the demands of contemporary patrons. This painting reflects the period's interest in grand narratives and the display of material wealth. The palette consists of earthy tones, punctuated by the glint of gold and the soft blues of the king's mantle. The figures exhibit a range of expressions, from the composed authority of Solomon to the focused activity of the gift-bearers. This print captures the scale and technical precision of the original oil painting, offering a view into the artistic conventions of the seventeenth-century Netherlands.\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\/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\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" 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;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferdinand Bol","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599288242511,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599299187023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58599299219791,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599299252559,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599299285327,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599299318095,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599299350863,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599299383631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599299416399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58599299449167,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58599299481935,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58599299514703,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Solomon-Receiving-Gifts_Poster_CompositorV1_1788013920543.jpg?v=1788014312","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/solomon-receiving-gifts-ferdinand-bol","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
