Godard's signature approach, personified characters and hidden details set against bold, saturated color and dramatic backdrops, began with a martini-themed birthday commission he answered by giving the olives in the glass faces and comic timing, the same comic timing on display in Tour of Europe Series: Leaning Tower of Pisa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Michael Godard","offers":[{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 36\" Artist Proof Edition of 50","offer_id":49218608300202,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 17.5\" x 26\" G Edition of 250","offer_id":49218608332970,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 36\" Gallery Proof Edition of 25","offer_id":49218608365738,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 24\" x 36\" Signed and Numbered Edition of 300","offer_id":49218608398506,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas\/Paper \/ 40\" x 60\" M Edition of 50","offer_id":49218608431274,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/2238\/3935\/files\/michaelgodardleaningtower.jpg?v=1788964822","url":"https:\/\/michaelgodardgallery.com\/products\/michael-godard-tour-of-europe-series-leaning-tower-of-pisa","provider":"Michael Godard Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
