Posters Dresden
Dresden as seen by our artists: the baroque scrolls, the domes and the line of the Elbe. 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 Dresden poster
Which Dresden poster should you choose?
Dresden comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Elbe skyline poster: domes and spires lined along the river, seen from the far bank.
- Frauenkirche poster: the rebuilt stone dome, alone or in its square.
- Baroque Dresden poster: scrolls, pediments, Zwinger sculpture, an ornament detail.
- Dresden map or city plan poster: the Elbe, the bridges, the districts traced in line.
- Line-drawn Dresden poster: the city in one continuous line, pared back on a pale ground.
- Black and white Dresden poster: dark stone, a wide sky, contrasts without colour.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang a Dresden poster?
- Living room: the Elbe skyline in a large size, alone above the sofa.
- Office: a line drawing, calm and legible beside the screen.
- Dining room: a baroque detail, dense, meant to be looked at while seated.
- Entrance: a map of Dresden, to place the city from the door.
- Hallway: a series of three German cities, same size and same frame.
Tip: a city skyline is very horizontal. It asks for width: above a sofa or a sideboard, never in a narrow space between two doors.
Dresden poster: skyline or baroque detail?
- The skyline gives the whole city: domes, towers, river, in a single reading.
- The baroque detail gives the material: carved stone, shadow, curve, at eye level.
- On a large wall, the skyline carries alone and imposes its horizontal.
- At a small size, the detail keeps its legibility where the skyline would shrink to a line.
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.
