Tutein Nolthenius - Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1860 political lithograph by Dutch artist Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, capturing a satirical interaction between figures of the Dutch political elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, dated 1860, belongs to the tradition of Dutch political satire. The work depicts a specific interaction between two figures, reflecting the social and political climate of the Netherlands during the mid-nineteenth century. Schmidt Crans was known for his ability to capture the nuances of contemporary public life through his draughtsmanship, often focusing on the figures of the Dutch elite and political class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is spare, focusing on the two men in conversation. One figure, identified as P.M. Tutein Nolthenius, carries a large document or banner inscribed with Latin phrases and political slogans, which serves as a visual device to convey the satirical intent of the piece. The other figure, seen from behind, gestures towards a doorway marked '2 Kam', likely a reference to the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament. The artist employs a clean, linear style, typical of mid-century lithographic prints intended for mass distribution in periodicals or as standalone political broadsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchmidt Crans uses the medium to comment on the shifting allegiances and bureaucratic manoeuvres of the period. The inclusion of text within the image itself is a common feature of nineteenth-century caricature, allowing the artist to weave specific political grievances into the visual narrative. The print provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the era, where political discourse was frequently mediated through such accessible, printed imagery. The work remains a document of the period's political tensions, rendered with the sharp observation that defined the artist's career.\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\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" 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;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/wotan-summons-erda-henri-fantin-latour\" 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;\"\u003eWotan Summons Erda - Henri Fantin-Latour — Henri Fantin-Latour\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58719022383439,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58719047385423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58719047418191,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58719047450959,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58719047483727,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58719047516495,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58719047549263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58719047582031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58719047614799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58719047647567,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58719047680335,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58719047713103,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Spotprent-op-de-P.M_Poster_CompositorV1_1788916459679.jpg?v=1788917151","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/spotprent-op-de-p-m-tutein-nolthenius-johan-michael-schmidt-crans","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
