{"product_id":"vettor-pisani-carlo-rampoldi","title":"Vettor Pisani - Carlo Rampoldi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal, nineteenth-century engraving of the Venetian admiral Vettor Pisani, rendered with precise line work and a balanced, academic composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Carlo Rampoldi depicts Vettor Pisani, the Venetian admiral known for his command during the War of Chioggia in the fourteenth century. The portrait is executed in a formal, oval format, typical of historical biographical collections produced in the nineteenth century. The artist employs precise line work to define the facial features, the texture of the beard, and the metallic sheen of the armour. The background within the oval is rendered with fine cross-hatching, which creates a subtle gradient that draws the eye toward the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the work follows the conventions of academic printmaking. The artist uses a controlled system of lines to model form, prioritising clarity and historical accuracy over expressive mark-making. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the Neoclassical preference for order and dignity. The subject is shown in a bust-length view, wearing a cap and a breastplate, which serves to identify him as a military figure of the Venetian Republic. The lettering beneath the portrait provides a clear identification of the sitter, a common feature in prints intended for educational or archival purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is a fine example of the nineteenth-century interest in documenting historical figures through the medium of engraving. It captures the stoic character of the admiral, presenting him as a figure of authority. The clean margins and the simplicity of the presentation make this piece suitable for those interested in maritime history or the history of Italian portraiture. The work remains a clear, well-composed record of a significant figure in Venetian naval history, presented with the technical rigour expected of the period.\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-chancellor-of-aguesseau-vincenzo-vangelisti\" 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 Chancellor of Aguesseau - Vincenzo Vangelisti — Vincenzo Vangelisti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-jean-dominique-compans-ambroise-tardieu\" 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;\"\u003ePortret van Jean Dominique Compans - Ambroise Tardieu — Ambroise Tardieu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carlo Rampoldi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697186312527,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697437151567,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58697437184335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58697437217103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58697437249871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58697437282639,"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":58697437315407,"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":58697437348175,"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":58697437380943,"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":58697437413711,"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":58697437446479,"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":58697437479247,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vettor-Pisani_Poster_CompositorV1_1788767949393.jpg?v=1788768630","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/vettor-pisani-carlo-rampoldi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
