For kunstværker eller reproduktioner, der er større end 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på en hvilken som helst side, vil rammen blive leveret som et adskilt sæt. Denne metode sikrer sikker levering og forhindrer skader under transport.
Professionel montering er påkrævet – dette er ikke et gør-det-selv produkt.
Sættet skal samles, og lærredet skal opspændes af en erfaren professionel indrammer ved brug af trælim (ikke medfølger), en lærredsspænder og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer. Forkert samling eller ujævn spænding af lærredet kan beskadige kunstværket permanent og er ikke dækket af vores garanti.
Alle massive trælister er inkluderet, præcist tilpasset i størrelsen.
Samles med de medfølgende skruer samt trælim til hjørneforbindelserne, som ikke medfølger og skal anskaffes af din indrammer.
Professionelt værktøj er påkrævet og medfølger ikke: en lærredsstrækker (spændetang) og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer.
Vigtigt:
Hjørneforbindelserne kræver trælim, listerne skal holdes fast med skruetvinger, indtil limen er helt tør, og opspænding af lærredet på den samlede ramme kræver en lærredsspænder. Ingen af disse dele er inkluderet i sættet. Vi anbefaler, at du kontakter en erfaren professionel indrammer, før du bestiller denne størrelse.

Fernando Gallego’s “The Sky of Salamanca”: A Celestial Tapestry
Within the hallowed halls of the University of Salamanca resides a masterpiece of late 15th-century Spanish art – Fernando Gallego's "El Cielo de Salamanca," or “The Sky of Salamanca.” More than just a decorative ceiling, this vast mural is an ambitious cosmological depiction, a testament to the burgeoning scientific curiosity and artistic skill of its time. Commissioned around 1480 during a period of intense intellectual exchange between Europe and Spain, the painting transcends mere ornamentation; it’s a vibrant synthesis of religious symbolism, classical learning, and nascent astronomical observation.
Gallego, a master painter working within the influential Hispano-Flemish style, skillfully blended Northern European realism with the established traditions of Spanish art. He was deeply influenced by the meticulous detail and illusionistic techniques characteristic of Flemish artists like Rogier van der Weyden, yet he infused his work with a distinctly Iberian sensibility – a richness in color, a dramatic use of light, and an emphasis on narrative clarity. The sheer scale of “The Sky of Salamanca” – spanning approximately 130 square meters – demanded a masterful command of perspective and composition, showcasing Gallego’s technical prowess.
A Window into Renaissance Astronomy
“El Cielo de Salamanca” isn't simply a depiction of the night sky; it’s an attempt to represent the cosmos as understood by scholars during the late 15th century. Based on Ptolemy’s “Almagest,” a foundational text in astronomy, the mural charts 48 constellations and the known planets – Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Gallego meticulously rendered each celestial body, imbuing them with symbolic significance rooted in classical mythology and religious iconography. The figures are not merely astronomical objects; they’re presented as characters within a grand narrative of creation and divine order.
Notably, the painting reflects the prevailing belief that planets were not distant spheres but rather inhabited by gods and spirits. This perspective is evident in the depiction of Mars as a warrior figure, Jupiter as a regal king, and Venus as an angelic being. The artist’s attention to detail extends beyond the constellations themselves; he incorporates elements like the Milky Way, rendered with shimmering gold leaf, further enhancing the illusion of depth and grandeur.
Symbolism and Narrative
Beyond its astronomical accuracy, “El Cielo de Salamanca” is rich in symbolic meaning. The central figure, Christ, is positioned at the heart of the cosmos, symbolizing divine authority and the foundation of all creation. Surrounding him are figures from Christian mythology – St. Andrew, St. Peter, and St. Bartholomew – reinforcing the painting’s religious message. The inclusion of classical deities like Apollo and Hercules further underscores the synthesis of ancient and Christian thought that characterized Renaissance learning.
The mural's narrative unfolds through a series of interconnected scenes, depicting key moments in the biblical story from creation to the Last Judgment. This didactic purpose – intended to educate viewers about both religious doctrine and astronomical knowledge – is characteristic of many altarpieces commissioned during this period. The meticulous detail with which Gallego portrays each figure and scene speaks volumes about his artistic skill and dedication.
A Legacy in Paint
Despite its grandeur, “El Cielo de Salamanca” suffered significant damage over the centuries due to a fire in 1869 that destroyed much of the University’s library. Only approximately one-third of the original mural remains intact today. However, the surviving fragments offer an extraordinary glimpse into the artistic and intellectual world of 15th-century Spain. Restoration efforts continue to unveil more of this remarkable masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate Gallego's vision and his pivotal role in shaping the visual landscape of the University of Salamanca.
Reproductions of “El Cielo de Salamanca” provide a stunning opportunity to bring this celestial tapestry into your home or office. Whether you seek an evocative piece for a study, a grand statement for a living room, or simply a beautiful reminder of the wonders of the universe, a high-quality reproduction captures the essence and majesty of Gallego’s extraordinary creation.
