With a Samsung Frame TV, the world is your oyster, or at least your museum, when it comes to displaying high-resolution versions of the world's most famous paintings. Deco TV Frames offers a wide variety of different frame styles to choose from — from an Ornate Gold frame you'd find around a famous Renaissance painting to a sleek and modern frame that would look at home in a high-tech office.
That means you shouldn't just slap any old frame around any old painting. How out of place wouldGirl With a Pearl Earring look with a candy apple red modern frame? Or Andy Warhol'sMarilyn Monroe triptych look with an Ornate Gold frame from the 18th century?
Pairing the right frame with the right painting takes a little work, so we wanted to give you some ideas of the kinds of paintings and frames that would create a museum effect in your living room. Here are five of our most popular frame designs and the paintings we think would blend perfectly.
The Ornate Gold frame is a patterned frame layered with gold to give it an Old World museum-quality feel. It's an excellent choice for Renaissance paintings because it reflects the grandeur of the art from that period.
Painting 1: The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli (1486).
This painting shows the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, fully grown, standing nude on a scallop shell, and being blown to the shore by the wind god, Zephyrus.
This masterpiece is a wonderful match for ourOrnate Gold frame. The soft colors and the mythological theme are enhanced by the frame's opulence. We're so used to seeing gold frames around Renaissance paintings that we can't imagine anything else showcasing the goddess of love and her timeless beauty.
The intricate leaf motif and delicate scrollwork around the frame blend with the painting's intricate details, which creates not only a historically accurate pairing, it's a stunning statement in your own living room.
Painting 2: The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck (1434)
One of van Eyck's most famous portraits, The Arnolfini Portrait" is a full-length portrait believed to show the wealthy Italian merchant Giovanni di Nicolao Arnolfini and his wife in their home in Bruges, Belgium. They're richly dressed, wearing clothing that is trimmed and lined with fur.
The Ornate Gold frame's design complements the rich, luxurious imagery and the couple's expensive clothing. The jewelry, furnishings, and clothing in the painting signify wealth and status, and the frame's design complements that imagery. Plus, the frame's ornate carvings and patterns mirror the intricate patterns in Mr. and Mrs. Arnolfini's clothing and the room's decor.
The Burlwood frame is a chocolate brown frame with a wood pattern that suits simpler and more rustic paintings or occasions where the frame should hide itself from the splendor of the painting itself. It works well with both landscapes and portraits because of its natural aesthetic.
Painting 1: Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich (1818).
Friedrich's painting is considered one of the masterpieces of the Romantic movement. It shows a man standing on a rocky outcropping, looking out over a thick sea of fog. We can see ridges, trees, and mountains rise up through the fog, which stretches out into the distance.
It's a perfect match for thedeep brown burlwood frame as it complements Wanderer's blue/gray/brown palette and the contemplative nature of the subject. The frame's subdued nature lets the viewer focus on our Wanderer and his consideration of the roiling "sea" before him.
Painting 2: Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh (1889).
OK, this one is a bit tricky:which version ofSunflowers are we referring to?There are five different versions of this painting, all called Sunflowers, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Van Gogh, who wanted to be known as "the painter of sunflowers," liked the "coarse and unrefined" nature of the flowers.
He wanted to combine two versions of Sunflowers with his portrait, Woman Rocking the Cradle, as a triptych to symbolize gratitude.
Van Gogh's use of bold colors, swirling brushstrokes, and emotional intensity all make this painting worthy of hanging in your living room, and the simple nature of a vase filled with sunflowers makes the simplicity of the frame a suitable container for this iconic masterpiece.
The candy apple red frame would bring a contemporary look to these modern-day artworks, making them even more visually appealing and enhancing their cutting-edge nature, even 60 – 100 years after they were first created.
Painting 1:Composition with Red, Yellow, Black, Gray, and Blue by Piet Mondrian (1921).
Mondrian's famous abstract painting — the one with the red, blue, and yellow squares — was an example of the Neo-Plasticism movement. Not to be confused with Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow or Composition II with Red, Blue, and Yellow, this painting is probably the Dutch artist's most recognized of the red, blue, and yellow squares with black lines.
The Neo-Plasticism movement — simply known asDe Stijl ("the style" in Dutch") — was founded by Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg in 1917 in response to the "chaos and fragmentation of the modern world." The two artists were inspired by the principles of simplicity, harmony, and order.
This painting demands a sleek, modern red frame. The painting's bold use of primary colors and geometric shapes is enhanced by the vibrant red. The minimalist design of the frame also enhances the clean lines and sharp corners of Mondrian's work, creating a visually striking combination.
Painting 2:Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol (1962).
When you say Andy Warhol, most people think, "Campbell's Soup Cans." The paintings were actually 32 separate canvases, each measuring 20" high by 16" wide, and contained one of the different soup varieties the soup company sold at the time. (Most people only know the Tomato soup can painting, but our favorite was the Cream of Chicken, especially on a cold afternoon.)
Any of the Soup Cans would make another excellent choice for thecandy apple red frame. The paintings' bold design and repetitive imagery are amplified by that Corvette-red color, and the minimalist design pairs well with the simple, iconic forms.
In fact, most of Warhol's images are better suited to any of our alloy frames to offset the modern-realistic style Warhol featured in his work.
Painting 1: The Scream by Edvard Munch (1893).
Munch's iconic expressionist painting is one of the most famous images in all of Western art. It was originally calledSkrik in Norwegian and was then exhibited under the German nameDer Schrei der Natur ("The Scream of Nature").
He said he was inspired to paint the image after going out for a walk at sunset when the clouds turned "a blood red." He sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature." The painting has been interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern humanity.
It would sure be an interesting conversation starter at your next dinner party.
We would recommend theSlim Tuxedo Black Frame to show off The Scream. The painting's swirling lines and intense colors would be heightened by the frame's dark, minimalist design. And the bevel on the inside of the frame would subtly draw the viewer's eye directly to the painting, emphasizing its emotional impact.
Painting 2:Guernica by Pablo Picasso (1937).
If The Scream isn't your cup of tea, how about Picasso's powerful anti-war painting,Guernica? It's one of Picasso's best-known works and is considered by many art critics as the most powerful anti-war painting in history.
Picasso painted his masterpiece while he lived in Paris in response to the April 1937 bombing of Guernica, a town in northern Spain. It was exhibited at the Spanish pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exposition and then around the world. The touring exhibition raised money for Spanish war relief and helped bring worldwide attention to the Spanish Civil War.
It's an excellent choice for the Tuxedo Black Frame.Guernica's fragmented forms, distorted figures, and stark black-and-white palette are amplified by the frame's dark minimalist design. Its simplicity allows the painting's imagery to dominate, and the black hue evokes a sense of mourning and loss, which adds toGuernica's emotional impact.
Painting 1: The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dalí (1931)
Also known as "The One with the Melting Clocks," Dali's surreal masterpiece, the Museum of Modern Art says on their website, "Those limp watches are as soft as overripe cheese—indeed, they picture 'the camembert of time,' in Dalí’s phrase. Here, time must lose all meaning. Permanence goes with it: ants, a common theme in Dalí’s work, represent decay, particularly when they attack a gold watch, and they seem grotesquely organic."
The painting has hung in MoMA since 1934, when it was donated by an anonymous donor. The Spanish painter has painted other variations of the same theme, including The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954), which is available in the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
It's a perfect match for ourGatsby Gold Frame. The painting's dreamlike imagery and iconic melting clocks are enhanced by the frame's geometric design and metallic accents. With its clean lines and geometric shapes, the Gatsby Gold Frame complements the painting's bold colors and bizarre imagery.
Painting 2: Broadway Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondrian (1942-43)
Despite the name, there is absolutely no dancing or city lights in this painting. It's more like if Mondrian took his famous Composition with Red, Yellow, Black, Gray, and Blue and turned it into a city grid map of Manhattan (which is more or less what he did).
He also named it after the blues music he loved so much: boogie-woogie. So you have the layout of Manhattan and the feeling of movement and busyness represented only with lines, dots, and squares.
The painting was originally completed in 1943, which lends itself very well to the Gatsby Gold Frame's Art Deco style. Broadway Boogie-Woogie's geometric patterns, bold colors, and buzzing energy will be amplified by the frame's design and metallic accents.
