Painting Frames "Eloisa" |
| • Serie: Lozanna • Width: 38mm • Height: 35mm |
| What we particularly like about Eloisa is the way the warm golden hue and the understated shape complement each other: the solid wood frame lends the picture a sense of weight without drawing attention to itself through ornamentation. The wide moulding forms a gentle concave curve. From the raised, rounded outer edge, its surface slopes inwards, ending at a narrow gold-coloured edge just in front of the picture. This movement draws the eye to the image and creates a smooth transition between the wall and the subject. The shape is reminiscent of historic concave frames for paintings, but here it is entirely free of carved ornamentation. The indentation at the sides is also part of the profile: its black surface provides a dark contrast to the gold-coloured front. We particularly enjoy looking at the fine structure running lengthways. The brushed finish diffuses the light into delicate lines; reddish-brown traces along the outer edge and small dark spots lend character to the subtle patina. This keeps the gold looking vibrant, rather than shining uniformly across the entire surface. We particularly recommend Eloisa for atmospheric landscapes or portraits with warm skin tones and a dark background. It looks at its best when the subject provides a sense of calm to complement its wide, curved border. |
