Kirchen, November 9, 2022 - Panoramic images belong to the supreme discipline in painting and photography. They offer an extended perspective, inspire with a realistic impression and are a real pleasure for the viewer. Artists often choose panoramic formats as a stylistic device for depicting vast landscapes, breathtaking skylines, and extraordinary buildings. With a suitable frame, the extremely portrait or landscape format images unfold their full effect and lend rooms a very special touch. With the 3D configurator on the website of HALBE (www.HALBE-rahmen.de) the individual production of a magnet framework is given with few Mausklicks in order. The 3D configurator shows not only photo-realistically the created panorama frame free-floating from all sides, but also on request on the wall in a virtually furnished room.
Panoramic images - extraordinary perspectives with a lasting effect
Panoramas are characterized by a large viewing angle, which can be up to 360 degrees. More than 200 years ago, the Irishman Robert Barker presented huge panorama paintings in circular buildings for the first time.
Since the 1970s, panoramic paintings have been experiencing a renaissance. The Berlin-based artist Yadegar Asisi is one of the masters of panoramic images. With his monumental panoramic images, he takes up where the great panoramas of the 19th century left off. Since 2003 he has been creating the largest panoramas in the world.
Panoramic images - unusual format with a special fascination
Whether in photography or painting, humans are used to seeing in sections, despite their relatively large field of vision. The fascination that panoramas exert on the viewer is the "unbounded" view - both as portrait or landscape format. This is why panoramic formats are preferred for depicting blooming landscapes, tall buildings or impressive skylines. But also in fashion and beauty photography, people are moving away more and more from the standard 2:3 and 4:3 formats, for example, to give an image section a real wow effect by using an unusual format.
Panoramic images - large-format art demands space
As Coco Chanel once said, "Style is the mistress of art" - for the perfect staging of panoramic images, you need a good sense of spatial design and aesthetics. Panoramas can be perfectly used as visual "eye-catchers" in the interior design of residential and commercial spaces - for example, on the front wall in the hallway or above a long sideboard. Due to their extreme vertical or horizontal format, they require a lot of space to fully unfold their effect. On the other hand, they lend a room a special flair - in some cases they give the viewer the feeling of being actively involved in the situation depicted.
According to the motto "less is more", panoramic images should be staged alone on a wall or in a minimally furnished room, if possible. Especially for landscape formats, the 4/7 rule should be observed, i.e. on a 400 cm wide wall, the image length should not exceed 230 cm. Portrait format panoramas should have at least a 30 - 35 cm distance to the ceiling or floor.
Panoramic motif - the right frame emphasizes the artistic value
Important artists, architects and art lovers have a great awareness of quality and know about the special effect of panoramas. The frame is often an essential part of the artistic expression and underlines the value of the picture - but not all frames are the same. Plain frame profiles emphasize the formal aspects of a work of art - the colours, the brushstroke as well as the illumination of a photograph.
Bright works of art require delicate frames in warm stainless steel tones, for example, which emphasize the lightness of the image. A frame that is too opulent competes with the subject and creates an undesirable imbalance. Dark frames are excellent for black and white images to emphasize the image contrast and perspective depth effect. A white maple or matte white aluminum profile is the perfect choice to add brightness to light parts of the image in a black and white motif. Colorful panoramic images can be staged in a colored frame rail, but often look more valuable in a fine white or dark lacquered profile. Framing with a black passepartout is also not to be underestimated.
Panorama frames - individually defined and ordered with 3D configurator
It is often difficult to imagine how panoramas look in a light, dark or colorful frame with or without passepartout. With the 3D configurator on the website of HALBE-frames - www.HALBE-rahmen.de - you can try out a variety of design options to your heart's content. Simply upload the picture and let the different frames take effect in an almost photo-realistic 3D view.
Zooming, rotating, panning - the 3D configurator not only allows you to view the planned frame free-floating from all sides, but also to check the proportions on the wall in a virtually furnished room. "Thanks to the 3D configurator, the perfect frame up to a maximum format of 140 x 250 cm can be selected with just a few mouse clicks," says David Halbe, managing director of HALBE-Rahmen GmbH.
Whether in portrait or landscape format, panoramic images exert a fascination on the viewer due to the "unbounded" view.
Also in the mode photography one moves away more and more from the standard formats 2:3 and 4:3, in order to lend a genuine Wow effect to a picture section by an unusual format.
The radiance of colorful panorama motifs is generally emphasized by a black passepartout and a dark frame.
Targeted dark framing with white passepartout emphasizes the image contrasts in black-and-white images and "captures" the viewer's gaze.
