{"product_id":"woman-taken-in-adultery-francesco-bartolozzi","title":"Woman Taken in Adultery - Francesco Bartolozzi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi after Agostino Carracci, depicting the biblical scene of the woman taken in adultery with classical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print by Francesco Bartolozzi reproduces a composition originally painted by Agostino Carracci. The scene depicts the biblical narrative of the woman taken in adultery, a subject frequently explored by artists of the Italian Baroque and later periods. Bartolozzi, a master of the stipple and line engraving techniques, demonstrates his technical precision here through the controlled application of cross-hatching and tonal variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around a central architectural space, with figures arranged in a theatrical manner. To the left, a group of men, including Christ, engage in a discussion, while the accused woman stands to the right, her posture conveying a sense of resignation. A seated figure in the foreground provides a counterpoint to the standing group, anchoring the perspective. The architectural setting, featuring arched doorways and classical columns, reflects the influence of the Bolognese school of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBartolozzi was a prolific printmaker who spent much of his career in London, where he became a founding member of the Royal Academy. His ability to translate the painterly qualities of oil works into the medium of engraving made him highly sought after for reproducing works from the Royal Collection and other private galleries. This particular print captures the dramatic tension of the narrative while maintaining the formal balance characteristic of the period. The fine lines and subtle shading define the drapery of the garments and the expressions of the figures, demonstrating the artist's command over the copper plate. The work serves as a record of the original Carracci painting, which was held in the Zampieri Palace in Bologna before entering the British Royal Collection.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" 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;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/de-vrouw-van-sebastiaan-leerse-willem-bartel-van-der-kooi\" 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;\"\u003eDe vrouw van Sebastiaan Leerse - Willem Bartel van der Kooi — Willem Bartel van der Kooi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Bartolozzi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724890542415,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724916756815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724916789583,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724916822351,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724916855119,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724916887887,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724916920655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724916953423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724916986191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724917018959,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724917051727,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724917084495,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Woman-Taken-in-Adultery_Poster_CompositorV1_1788959144939.jpg?v=1788959439","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/woman-taken-in-adultery-francesco-bartolozzi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
