Posters chartres

Chartres seen by our artists: the cathedral rising at the edge of the Beauce fields, the rooftops and the Eure river. Each poster is a personal reading of Chartres, hand-printed on 270 g photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our studio in Fayence.

Choosing your Chartres poster

Which Chartres poster should you choose?

Chartres is told in several ways, and each comes from a different register:

  • Chartres poster: a view of the town, cobbled alleys, a square and old facades.
  • Chartres cathedral: spires, a sculpted portal, the rose window and blue stained glass.
  • Chartres beers poster: a local brewery label, hops, counter lettering.
  • Vintage Chartres poster: travel advertising style, flat colour, retro lettering.
  • Map and plan of Chartres: streets, districts, monuments marked in line.
  • Stained glass and rose window: the blue of Chartres, religious motifs, filtered light.

The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.

Where should you hang a Chartres poster?

  • Living room: the cathedral in a large size, alone above the sofa.
  • Kitchen or bar corner: a Chartres beers poster, near the glasses.
  • Office: a plan or a map of Chartres, a discreet landmark on the wall.
  • Bedroom: a blue stained-glass window, calming, never too busy a facade.
  • Hallway or entrance: a vintage Chartres poster, which sets the tone on arrival.

Which size for a Chartres poster?

  • 50x70 for a cathedral facade, which needs height.
  • 30x40 for a detail: rose window, stained glass, sculpted portal.
  • Three 21x30 for a series of streets or windows.
  • The 100x140 polyptych for an urban view in several panels.

Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?

All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.

  • With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
