About the artwork

This is one of the first waterfalls that I could not forget more than ten years ago on my first photography trip to Iceland. I had never experienced a waterfall of such dimensions before and the soundscape is overwhelming and if the wind comes from the wrong direction, you are wet within seconds. Skógafoss pours 60 meters into the depth over a width of 25 meters. On the eastern side of the waterfall a famous trekking path, the Laugavegur, leads up to the pass Fimmvörðuháls and further over the Þórsmörk to Landmannalaugar. A legend tells that the first Viking settler in this area (Þrasi Þórólfsson) buried a treasure in a cave behind Skógafoss. Years later a boy discovered the chest, but could only reach for the handle before the chest disappeared. The ring of the treasure chest is now kept in the Skógasafn Museum.

Expert Advice :

High-gloss acrylic glass is suitable for rooms with indirect lighting on the photograph.

Available only in mounted formats

ANTI-REFLECTION MUSEUM GLASS

Only available for the Classic format 40x50cm

The framed gallery formats include a white passe-partout, creating a space between the print and the acrylic glass plate of the frame. It is a cardboard plate covered with laid paper on which we cut out a bevelled window to accommodate the print. This passe-partout highlights the artwork and gives it greater depth. Invisible and reflection-free, it ensures perfect colour restitution and allows the details to emerge without the slightest alteration, so that the attention is focused on the artwork.

Expert Advice :
Anti-reflective glass is adapted to bright rooms with direct exposure to sunlight.

MOUNTED FRAMES

6 Frames Available

The print is inserted into a 480 mm thick solid-wood, custom-built frame, assembled by hand. On the sides of the frame, we find two notches allowing the work to be hung directly.

This frame, known as the shadowgap frame, leaves a 15 mm wide space from the artwork, giving the artwork a sensation of floating in its frame, thus contributing an effect of lightness and depth. The shadowgap frame is available in six colours: These frames are available for mounted formats.

For security reasons, please note that the artworks are not delivered inside the frame. The frames are not available in Exception format.
