All that for a rose
This photograph, delicately staged like a pictorial work, is a vibrant homage to Jean Cocteau and his cinematic masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast. Here, the table draped in white, a monument of simplicity and purity, becomes the heart of a composition where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary. It evokes a scene suspended in time, where the essence of the everyday is tinged with a mysterious poetry.
At the center of this composition, a single red rose, set in a black vase, emerges as a powerful symbol. It is not merely an object; it is a direct reference to the captivating beauty and enchantment of Cocteau’s film. It embodies the duality between light and darkness, passion and solitude, echoing the enchanted rose of the tale, fragile, precious, and filled with magic.
The brown, earthy textures of the walls in the background, with their patina and roughness, amplify the contrast with the bright white tablecloth, evoking the austerity of the theatrical sets Cocteau loved so dearly. A chair, partially veiled by a negligently tossed cloth, seems to mark an absence, an untold story, a silence waiting to be broken.
Every detail breathes delicacy, sobriety, and the elegance of surrealism—a universe where reality is transcended to reveal hidden beauty, much like the cult film. This photograph transports us to a timeless space, a cinematic reverie where simplicity becomes a source of fascination and where Cocteau’s spirit seems to hover between each fold of fabric, each shadow, each glimmer of light. A visual piece to be contemplated as a poetic vision, a delicate and refined tribute to Art with a capital A.

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.
