Bir Hakeim Bridge
November 2019 – Paris, France
Built between 1903 and 1905, the Pont de Bir-Hakeim is a masterpiece of Parisian metal architecture, connecting the 15th arrondissement to the Île aux Cygnes. Famous for its majestic lines and dual levels — elevated metro above, pedestrian and bicycle path below — it has become one of the most iconic settings in cinema and photography, from Inception to numerous advertising campaigns.
In this black and white composition, Sebastien Desnoulez captures the graphic power of the structure. The rows of riveted pillars succeed one another like the columns of a steel cathedral, guiding the eye toward the final arch in a hypnotic perspective. The lampposts cast a soft light, creating a subtle interplay of contrast with the deep shadows.
This image, both timeless and contemporary, reveals the urban poetry of a place where engineering becomes art, and where every step tells a piece of Parisian history.
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.
