Seine in flood, Pointe de l’Île Saint Louis

June 2016 – Paris, France
In this striking black-and-white photo, we are plunged into the enigmatic atmosphere of a flood on the Seine in Paris.
The usually peaceful banks are unrecognizable, submerged by the river’s tumultuous waters.
In the foreground, the tree trunks stand like solitary sentinels, their water-covered silhouettes bearing witness to the spectacular rise in the Seine’s water level.
The scene exudes an atmosphere of desolation, where the force of nature takes precedence over the established order.
At the center of the image, emerging from the dark water, is the top of a Parisian lamppost.
Its iconic profile stands out sharply against the cloudy sky, a reminder of the city’s constant presence despite nature’s whims.
Overall, the photo exudes a dark, mysterious atmosphere, where the power of nature contrasts with the fragility of urbanity.
It’s a striking vision of the raw strength and inherent beauty ofthe Seine, even as it rises out of its banks and threatens the shores of the City of Light.
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.
Contact us for any specific size or custom finishes, whether it’s for the choice of fine art paper, adding a white margin, the wood type of the frame, or even a specific framing.
We are here to listen and meet your needs to enhance your Fine Art photographic print.
