{"product_id":"the-eclipse-claude-gillot","title":"The Eclipse - Claude Gillot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Claude Gillot, titled 'The Eclipse', depicts a crowd reacting to a celestial event. The detailed linework and dramatic composition capture the anxiety and movement of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eClaude Gillot (1673-1722) was a French painter, printmaker, and stage designer, who worked in a style blending elements of the Baroque and Rococo. He is known for his theatrical and decorative designs, as well as his etchings, which often depict scenes from mythology, theatre, and everyday life. Gillot trained under Jean-Baptiste Corneille, and his work influenced later artists such as Antoine Watteau. \n\n'The Eclipse' presents a scene of apparent chaos and concern. A crowd of figures is gathered, some gesturing towards the sky, where a crescent shape suggests the eclipse itself. The composition is dense, with many figures overlapping, creating a sense of movement and anxiety. The etching technique, with its fine lines and cross-hatching, adds to the dramatic effect, capturing the contrast between light and shadow. The architecture in the background hints at a town square or public space, further grounding the scene in a specific time and place. The print is part of a book, as indicated by the text above the image.\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":"Claude Gillot","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57816400462159,"sku":null,"price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57816407081295,"sku":null,"price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57816407114063,"sku":null,"price":40.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57816407146831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57816407179599,"sku":null,"price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Eclipse_Poster_CompositorV1_1780024683377.jpg?v=1780076178","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-eclipse-claude-gillot","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
