Posters Venice
Venice as seen by our artists: the gothic windows, the bridges and the reflections in the canals. 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 Venice poster
Which Venice poster should you choose?
Venice comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Venice canals poster: gondolas, bridges, facades diving into the water.
- Gothic windows poster: pointed arches, mullions, the stone lacework of the palaces.
- Saint Mark's Square poster: the basilica, the campanile, the Procuratie arcades.
- Venice map or city plan poster: the lagoon, the Grand Canal, the sestieri in line.
- Venice carnival poster: masks, capes, deep colours, a festive spirit.
- Venice watercolour poster: melted material, supple outlines, a pink and sea-green palette.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang a Venice poster?
- Living room: a canal in a large size, alone above the sofa.
- Bathroom: water and reflections, the right motif for a small damp room.
- Bedroom: a pink and sea-green palette, soft, with no hard contrast.
- Entrance: a map of Venice, to place the city from the door.
- Hallway: a series of three windows or facades, same size and same frame.
Tip: a composition in vignettes, several views in one poster, is looked at closely. Place it where people pass slowly, not at the far end of a room.
Venice poster: wide view or architectural detail?
- The wide view holds the city: canal, gondola, campanile, recognised at once.
- The detail holds the material: a window, an arch, a reflection, at eye level.
- On a large wall, the wide view carries alone and gives the depth.
- At a small size, the detail keeps its legibility where a wide view closes up.
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.
