Museums
Arketex has decided to work with the photo agency of the French Réunion des Musées Nationaux and the Grand Palais Museum,
which are overseen by the Ministry of Culture, officially responsible for managing and disseminating the collections of the national museums in France.
For over 60 years, the agency has conducted campaigns capturing photographs within the most prestigious
national museums such as the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, ensuring the preservation of the image
of works for future generations and also for their use as part of exceptional projects,
such as the creation of Arketex architectural decorative textiles for businesses and private individuals alike.
Seascapes and images of open countryside or mountains are all framed by the sky, which can be at times tumultuous, at times serene, always inviting one to dream. When employed as decoration, landscapes impart strength and serenity to a room.
We are as familiar with masterpieces as we are with the characters that they depict. When incorporated into a room in an oversized version, they make a powerful statement. Viewed on an XXL print, each detail becomes an element in the scheme and gives a contemporary dimension.
Each photograph is organized under the control of curators. Thus, every image is as close to reality as possible and protects the integrity of the work reproduced particularly its colors.
The images are captured using high-definition digital photography, adhering to an absolute requirement of closely resembling the original work as much as possible. The file sizes produced by the photography agency range from 100 MB to 1 GB, particularly for the most intricate montages that enable exceptional enlargements. This allows for the selective use of specific parts of the work for decoration purposes.
Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” series, comprising 250 oil paintings, is widely renowned. For over 30 years, the painter directed his focus towards capturing the pond and garden of his estate in Giverny, depicting them from various perspectives and under different lighting conditions. The most renowned pieces are the famous panoramic paintings, some of which can measure up to 17 meters in length. These artworks are prominently displayed in the musée de l’Orangerie located in the Tuileries Garden in Paris.
In high-definition prints for your walls or ceilings, they will unveil the depth and mastery of the renowned painter, who was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement.
Art over the ages has left us a legacy of extraordinary frescoes painted on the ceilings and domes of the most iconic buildings in the nation. When used to create a printed ceiling for contemporary interiors, these add exceptional originality and charm to the decoration of a room.
