This is a lovely artwork lighting case study and a good example of our approach to fine art lighting. We were commissioned to light a few specific pieces of special significance to our client. The large oil is by John Hoppner. Lady Jane Staunton dominates the picture in her white dress but there is significant detail throughout the painting. We lit the picture with an ArtView designed to light large canvases. It brings out detail such as the Chinese characters on the tea chest under the young attendant's arm.
Smaller canvases require a different approach. We lit a selection of smaller oils with a single head LED light source, the LD82. It's a remarkably discreet light fitting that we've used in both private and public collections to great effect.
We've been lighting art collections for over ten years. We're not able to photograph the majority of our projects, so we're endebted to our clients who have allowed us to shoot our lighting and their collections.
