{"product_id":"zonnestelsel-jan-brandes","title":"Zonnestelsel - Jan Brandes","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise eighteenth-century ink drawing of the solar system by Dutch artist Jan Brandes, featuring orbital paths and astronomical notations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drawing by Jan Brandes depicts a heliocentric model of the solar system. Brandes, a Dutch clergyman and artist, produced a vast collection of sketches and watercolours during his travels to the East Indies and his time in the Netherlands. This specific work reflects the scientific curiosity prevalent during the eighteenth century, where the mapping of celestial bodies was a common pursuit for educated individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around a central sun, with concentric circles representing the orbits of the planets. Each planet is marked with its respective astronomical symbol. The outer ring includes zodiacal signs, which were frequently included in astronomical diagrams of the era to denote the ecliptic path. Below the diagram, Brandes has included a series of handwritten calculations and data points, providing a technical dimension to the visual representation. The ink lines are precise and clean, demonstrating the artist's disciplined approach to recording observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike more decorative celestial maps of the period, this drawing is functional and utilitarian. It serves as a record of astronomical understanding, likely intended for personal study or as part of a larger collection of scientific observations. The paper shows signs of age, with subtle discolouration that adds to the character of the piece. The minimalist aesthetic makes it a suitable choice for those interested in the history of science, cartography, or early modern technical drawing. The work provides a glimpse into the intellectual life of a traveller who documented the world around him with meticulous attention to detail, whether he was observing local flora, fauna, or the movements of the planets.\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\/99-no-13-travena-sedrick-huckaby\" 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;\"\u003e99% NO.13 Travena - Sedrick Huckaby — Sedrick Huckaby\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/wapenkaart-met-de-wapens-en-namen-van-de-heren-veertigen-van-delft-hendrik-de-leth-1\" 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;\"\u003eWapenkaart met de wapens en namen van de Heren Veertigen van Delft - Hendrik de Leth — Hendrik de Leth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Brandes","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58577681318223,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58577832411471,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58577832444239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58577832477007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58577832509775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58577832542543,"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":58577832575311,"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":58577832608079,"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":58577832640847,"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":58577832673615,"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":58577832706383,"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":58577832739151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zonnestelsel_Poster_CompositorV1_1787824190176.jpg?v=1787825219","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/zonnestelsel-jan-brandes","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
