The flood
2020 – Cotentin Marshes, Normandy, France
The quiet beauty of marshes flooded in winter, where trees rise majestically from the icy water, patiently awaiting the arrival of spring and the rebirth of nature. The still, reflective surface of the water captures the soft winter light, creating a natural mirror that doubles the beauty of the bare trees. The photographer used a custom filter to give the image an etched or drawn texture, adding a depth and richness of detail that evokes the craftsmanship of old masters. The tree trunks and branches stand out with sharp, precise lines, accentuated by delicate shadows and reflections in the water. This technique creates a timeless impression, transforming the natural scene into a classic work of art. Although devoid of their spring greenery, these lands promise the return of fresh grass, where horses will soon come to feed. This anticipation of renewal adds a dimension of life and hope to the image, despite the apparent coldness of winter. The overall composition, with its striking contrasts and meticulous textures, invites the viewer to lose himself in the serenity and contemplation of this winter landscape. It’s a celebration of nature’s resilience and beauty, even in its most austere moments, captured with an artistic sensibility that transcends mere photographic realism.
The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
