2020 – Cotentin Marshes, Normandy, France
This winter photograph captures the flooded fields and paths of the Cotentin marshes, a landscape both beautiful and steeped in history. The scene, dominated by the stagnant water covering the land, evokes the harshness of winter and the implacable nature of the marshes. Bare trees stand tall, their dark silhouettes reflected in the calm water, adding a touch of melancholy to the whole. The photographer used a custom filter to work with color and black & white, giving the image the appearance of an etching or drawing. This technique creates a rich, detailed texture, accentuating the contrasts between the diffuse winter light and the deep shadows of the natural elements. The subtle nuances and delicate lines reinforce the impression of cold and immensity of this flooded landscape. This region, marked by its history during the Second World War, is a place of remembrance. Many paratroopers drowned here, trapped by the treacherous waters of the marshes. The etching or drawing effect used by the artist seems to evoke the ghosts of the past, floating silently above these marshy lands. The whole composition, with its meticulous detail and poignant atmosphere, invites the viewer not only to contemplate the stark beauty of winter in the Cotentin marshes, but also to reflect on the tragic stories and human sacrifices that took place in this timeless landscape.
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.
