Posters Poitiers

Poitiers as seen by our artists: the town on its promontory, the bell towers and the old maps. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.

Choosing your Poitiers poster

Which Poitiers poster should you choose?

Poitiers comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:

  • Notre-Dame-la-Grande poster: the carved Romanesque facade, its arcading and archivolts.
  • Poitiers map or city plan poster: the Clain, the plateau, the streets of the centre in line.
  • Celestial Poitiers poster: the city set inside a circle, the spirit of an old chart and of astronomy.
  • Saint-Jean baptistery poster: the oldest stone in the city, simple volumes.
  • Black and white Poitiers poster: sculpture, shadow, contrasts without colour.
  • Poitou and Poitiers poster: countryside, bell towers, a chalk and wheat palette.

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

Where should you hang a Poitiers poster?

  • Living room: the city in its circle, in a large size, alone above the sofa.
  • Office: a plan or a circular composition, precise and calm beside the screen.
  • Entrance: a Romanesque facade, recognisable from the door.
  • Bedroom: a beige and grey palette, settled, with no hard contrast.
  • Hallway: a series of three western French cities, same size and same frame.

Tip: a circular composition needs margin around it. Squeezed between two pieces of furniture, it loses its centre and the eye no longer knows where to settle.

Poitiers poster: landmark or graphic composition?

  • The landmark holds the stone: a carved facade, arcading, capitals, visible material.
  • The graphic composition holds the form: circle, line, symmetry, an abstract reading.
  • In an entrance, the landmark names the city straight away.
  • In an office or a pared-back interior, the composition fits without looking like a postcard.

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.
