Dit type wandontwerp is momenteel erg populair bij interieurontwerpers. Het "wilde" ophangen van Petersburg is heel anders dan andere ontwerpopties. De enige regel die het volgt is dat er geen regels zijn , d.w.z. assen, lijnen of vaste patronen. De naam komt van de dicht behangen muren van de Hermitage in Sint-Petersburg. In het dagelijks leven zul je deze ophanging eerder tegenkomen in leuke cafés met foto's van beroemde gasten. Daar wordt het willekeurig gecreëerd. Overal waar ruimte is, worden extra foto's geplaatst. Op deze manier vullen de verschillende motieven, formaten en soorten fotolijsten elkaar aan om een wilde look te creëren.
History of the Petersburg Hanging
The history of the Petersburg Hanging dates back to the 18th century, when the art collections in the palaces and museums of St. Petersburg grew steadily. The Hermitage, one of the most famous museums in the world, still houses countless works of art in its 350 halls. A close arrangement of paintings was intended to impress viewers and encourage them to buy art.
In addition to the Petersburg hanging, other hanging techniques also developed, but the salon hanging remained particularly popular due to its impressive effect and the possibility of combining many individual paintings into a single unit.
Petersburg picture hanging brings together a variety of art into a single unit and creates an impressive picture wall. Although this method appears chaotic, it brings calm to the composition through the use of imaginary reference lines and a targeted arrangement of the picture frames.
The close arrangement and use of different frames or thematically related motifs creates a dynamic yet harmonious mural. This method offers room for your creativity and allows you to set personal accents without being too meticulous when measuring and planning.
St. Petersburg hanging, also known as salon hanging, brings out the diversity of your pictures in an impressive way. This method of wall design, which originated in the magnificent halls of the St. Petersburg Hermitage, is still fascinating today. In this article, you will learn about the techniques of St. Petersburg hanging and receive practical tips on how to implement them in your own four walls. Find out how you can show off your works of art to their best advantage in just a few steps with a seemingly chaotic but well thought-out arrangement.
Guide: 6 practical tips for the Petersburg picture montage
- Planning and selecting the images: Choose a mixture of images or photos, in different formats and styles if you wish. The only important thing is that they harmonize thematically or in terms of colour.
- Frames and passepartout: Choose frames and passe-partouts that match each other stylistically and make the overall picture look harmonious.
- Preparation: Gather all the pictures and works of art that you want to hang. Lay them out on the floor first to try out different arrangements. When hanging the wall pictures, proceed from the inside out, starting with the largest frame or the central motif of the collection. This creates a nice and loose arrangement of the pictures.
- Marking: Mark the places on the wall where the pictures are to hang. Ideally, use a taut string or a laser measuring device for this. Although the Petersburg hanging often appears chaotic, certain imaginary reference lines are still necessary to achieve a harmonious arrangement.
- Use of spacers: Cardboard spacers help to find the right distance between the pictures and make the hanging even.
- Mounting: Start with the largest or most important picture in the middle and work your way outwards. Use nails or special picture hooks to attach the pictures securely.
A comparison of hanging techniques
Compared to other hanging techniques such as grid hanging or single hanging, Petersburg hanging offers greater flexibility and expressiveness. While grid hanging follows a strict geometric arrangement and single hanging allows each work of art to work on its own, this special type of hanging combines several pictures into a single unit.
This technique makes it possible to present a large number of artworks in a limited space, creating a dynamic yet harmonious wall design. The dense placement of the pictures also creates a special aesthetic quality that other hanging techniques often lack.
