{"product_id":"the-angel-gabriel-jan-van-eyck","title":"The Angel Gabriel - Jan van Eyck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed study of the Archangel Gabriel from the Ghent Altarpiece, showcasing Jan van Eyck's mastery of light, texture, and Early Netherlandish naturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis detail captures the figure of the Archangel Gabriel, a segment of the Annunciation scene from the exterior of the Ghent Altarpiece. Completed in 1432, this polyptych is a defining work of the Early Netherlandish period. Jan van Eyck demonstrates his mastery of oil paint, a medium he helped refine to achieve unprecedented levels of luminosity and textural detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe angel is depicted with a soft, youthful countenance, his gaze directed towards the Virgin Mary, who appears on the adjacent panel. He wears a heavy, cream-coloured ecclesiastical cope fastened with a large, jewel-encrusted morse. His wings, rendered with a blend of iridescent greens and warm oranges, provide a striking contrast to the muted interior setting. In his left hand, he holds a stalk of lilies, the traditional symbol of the Virgin's purity, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of greeting and announcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Eyck employs a precise, microscopic approach to the painting surface. Every fold of the heavy fabric is modelled with careful attention to the fall of light, creating a sense of physical weight and volume. The inscription 'Ave Gratia' is visible in the background, integrated into the pictorial space as if it were a physical element of the room. This work reflects the Northern European interest in naturalism, where the divine is presented within a tangible, domestic environment. The attention to the play of light on the metallic surfaces of the brooch and the delicate petals of the lilies demonstrates the technical rigour that defined Van Eyck's practice. This print reproduces the subtle gradations of tone and the clarity of form that characterise the original panel, offering a view into the technical sophistication of fifteenth-century Flemish painting.\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":"Jan van Eyck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607656042831,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607656993103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58607657025871,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607657058639,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607657091407,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607657124175,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607657156943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607657189711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607657222479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58607657255247,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58607657288015,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58607657320783,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Angel-Gabriel_Poster_CompositorV1_1788144834274.jpg?v=1788145100","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-angel-gabriel-jan-van-eyck","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
