    With its quilted canvas cushion, its 2 antique mirrors and its symbolic decorations (the vine leaves, symbol of the union of the feminine and masculine, or the bird, symbol of peace and love), our Wedding Globe will present your wonders or protect jewelry and collections of your choice.

  • Anamorphosis Napoleon Bonaparte under Globe

    €480.00

    Anamorphosis Napoleon Bonaparte under Globe

    Anamorphosis was born from the work on perspective by Piero della Francesca, a Florentine painter and mathematician of the Quattrocento.

    This Art of secret perspective allows, thanks to a “trompe-l’oeil” technique, to create an impression of reality by restoring a 3rd dimension.

    We were inspired by this technique to create Anamorphoses-Butterflies: at first glance, the eye is charmed by a colorful and poetic flight of butterflies... then suddenly, the unexpected image springs out and reveals itself to the viewer and doubles it perception appears.

    In reality, a master painting serves as a motif for the butterflies, while the butterfly recreates a master painting...

    Presented under a glass globe, so that this anamorphosis does not disperse on your walls!
