STORY

Renaissance is Italy with Michelangelo overhead, built from Charlotte's own photographs of Rome, the Vatican and Florence.

Using her signature multi layer photographic technique, Charlotte composites many of her own frames into one image, the way a film editor assembles a scene from many takes. Michelangelo painted the Creation of Adam on a ceiling, so Charlotte photographed it looking up. Here it is the sky and the city is underneath. Adam reaches in from the left. God comes from the right. The two hands nearly touch at the center of the frame, above the castle.

That castle is Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, and it is the only thing in the artwork holding its full weight. Everything else passes through it. Another photograph, in black and white, was taken on the bridge leading to it, and that one brings the crowd: silhouettes of people walking, street lamps, and one of Bernini's angels on the left. It is almost lost in the crowd it stands over.

Gold arches sit in the upper middle, from Giotto's Baroncelli Polyptych in Santa Croce, Florence. Halos in rows, Christ crowning the Virgin at the center. It is the oldest painting here, made around 1328.

Umbrella pines and the river fill the lower right, the water holding what is above it.

Two hundred years of Italian painting and several days of walking around Italy, at the same time and in the same frame.

This work is part of The Breathe Series, Charlotte Fonne's landscapes and cityscapes, where reality merges with the echoes of memory.

Each image in the composition is personally photographed by Charlotte, ensuring a genuine and unique piece. Signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Limited edition. Only 10 to 20 prints per size exist in the world.

Gallery-Quality Photo Print

Fuji Crystal DP II: Exceptional Color and Longevity.

I print my artwork on Fuji Crystal DP II, a premium gallery-quality photo paper known for luminous color and remarkable longevity. The paper reproduces deep contrast and a wide tonal range, giving the work a striking visual impact.

Fuji Crystal DP II has an extremely wide color gamut and is designed to be non-fade for at least 75 years. The glossy finish enhances the depth of the artwork, creating an immersive viewing experience.

  • Surface feel: Smooth
  • Surface finish: Glossy
  • Longevity: Non-fade for 75 years
  • Manufacturer: Fujicolor

Acrylic Glass Mounting

To enhance both durability and presentation, the photo print is mounted under glossy acrylic glass and backed with sturdy aluminum Dibond. This high-end mounting technique intensifies colors, adds depth, and provides a sleek, modern finish suitable for any space. Acrylic glass is lightweight, shatterproof, and resistant to temperature fluctuations. It protects the artwork while amplifying its brilliance, making it an excellent choice for a lasting display.

  1. Acrylic Glass: Glossy, 1/16 in. (2 mm)
  2. Photo Print: Fuji Crystal DP II with silicone sealant
  3. Backing: Sturdy aluminum Dibond backing

This premium combination of materials ensures the artwork maintains brilliance and integrity for decades to come.

Floater Frame

For a finished presentation, the mounted artwork can be set in a floater frame. This custom-made solid hardwood frame creates a unique visual effect with a gap between the image and the frame, giving the impression that your artwork floats on the wall. The contemporary design is both elegant and subtle, enhancing the presence of the piece without overwhelming it. Available in two colors, black or white, the frame complements a variety of styles.

  • Frame Width: 0.6 in. (15 mm)
  • Frame Depth: 1.14 in. (29 mm)
  • Frame Shadow Gap: 0.27 in. (7 mm)

Ready to hang

Each frame includes a secure wall fixing system that ensures your artwork is beautifully displayed and ready to hang right away. Prints mounted on aluminum Dibond feature an aluminum rail hanging system, providing the same out-of-the-box convenience for easy installation.

  • Effortless setup: Just two nails, screws, or hooks are all you need.
  • Durable and stable: The mounting system ensures your piece stays securely in place for long-lasting display.

Certificate of Authenticity

Every limited edition artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

  • Originality: The certificate confirms your artwork is an original, signed by my hand, not a mass-produced copy.
  • Edition number: Each piece carries its own number in the edition, so you know exactly where it sits and how few exist.
  • Signed by hand: I sign and number every piece myself before it leaves the studio.

Additional Information

Series Details

The Breathe Series is where Charlotte Fonne's layering began. It explores the space where reality merges with the echoes of memories, where the essence of a place is captured not in a single photograph, but through the layering of multiple images.

The work began with an Impressionist impulse. Each layer serves as a translucent memory, and together they soften into a single painterly whole: the color palette shifts, light and shadow diffuse, and the line between what was seen and what was remembered blurs.

Shipping

Your order is made to order, so timing depends on the piece. Mounted and framed pieces typically arrive within 2 to 3 weeks, including production and delivery. Print-only orders ship faster, usually within about a week. Once your order ships, you will receive an email with a tracking number.

Return & Exchange

Each piece is made to order. In the rare event your artwork arrives defective or damaged, I will replace it once you send photographic evidence of the issue to charlotte@charlottefonne.com.

Because every piece is custom-made once ordered, I cannot offer refunds for a change of mind after an order is placed. My e-gift cards do not expire and are non-refundable once purchased.

A bit about me

I'm Charlotte,

a French-American artist, photographer, and traveler based in Miami. Inspired by art history and my travels, I build each artwork by layering many of my own photographs into a single image. What I keep is not how a place looked, but how I remember it.
