Through Time

Year: 2022

City: Paris

Country: France

Orientation: Landscape

Archival Paper: Hahnemühle Photo Rag – 308gsm

Artist-Curated Frame: Black

On my inaugural trip to Paris, Christmas was in full swing—the city alive with lights, bustling markets, and the quiet hum of the holiday season beneath it all. While visiting the Musée d’Orsay, once a historic railway station marked by its two imposing clock towers, I discovered a scene that felt suspended through time. From this vantage point, I captured an unexpected visual passage stretching from the Tuileries to Montmartre.

Creating this image came with its challenges. The constant stream of visitors pausing for photos and lingering over the view made timing essential. The scale of the space, combined with steel reinforcements, shifting light, and competing exposures, demanded patience and precision. I focused on the lower quarter of the frame, from six to nine, to anchor the composition and allow the layered cityscape beyond to emerge.

Printing

We strictly use the highest tier of archival materials that are all conservation based and acid free. By adhering to museum-quality paper, printing and framing standards, we ensure that every Roman Russo fine art print is made to last, allowing collectors to enjoy their artwork for a lifetime. To faithfully translate the original artistic vision into print, the artist meticulously curates the paper type for each unique piece.

Archival Inks: Using state-of-the-art archival pigment inks, we achieve a color range and detail sharpness that far exceeds standard digital printing. These inks are rated to resist fading for over 100 years under proper display conditions.

Archival Papers: We print on acid-free archival papers (such as Hahnemühle, Canson Infinity Arches and other leading brands) known for their ability to hold deep blacks and rich, cinematic colors without fading.

Framing

We believe fine art deserves exceptional presentation and protection. We partner with premier framing studios that handcraft each frame using the highest quality materials. Our recommendations are carefully curated to accentuate each specific image, as we view the frame and mounting as an integral extension of the artwork itself.

Whether you choose a frame through us or prefer to have your limited edition print sent to your own local framer, we are dedicated to ensuring a perfect result.

The Frames: We partner with artisans who utilize strictly premium wood moulding to ensure beauty and durability. While each Limited Edition features a frame profile specifically selected by the artist, we are happy to consult with you to find a style that best suits your space. Please inquire about these bespoke options when selecting your artwork.

Glass & Acrylic: To ensure longevity and safety, we utilize Conservation Clear UV glass for small to medium works. For large-scale statement pieces, we use premium UV-protective acrylic to reduce weight and prevent breakage without compromising clarity.

Archival Matting & Mounting: We strictly adhere to conservation standards, using acid-free, museum-grade mats and non-destructive photo corner mounting. Standard editions feature a luxurious 8-ply white mat with a 2 3/4" margin. For large-scale works (e.g., 40x80", 50x50"), we utilize a 4-ply mat with an extended 3 1/4" margin for optimal visual balance.

Customization: While each piece comes with an artist-recommended frame, we are happy to work with you to find a frame that will suit your space. If you are a trade professional requiring a custom print or frame for a specific project, please reach out—we would be delighted to collaborate with you.

Authenticity & Exclusivity

Every piece in our Limited Edition collection is released in strictly limited quantities to ensure rarity and value for collectors.

Signed & Numbered: Each print is hand-signed by Roman Russo and numbered to verify its place within the edition.

Certificate of Authenticity: Every artwork arrives with a formal Certificate of Authenticity. This document details the title, edition number, size, print medium, and date, serving as the official guarantee of the artwork’s origin.

Shipping & Returns

Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery after payment is received. We take great care in the packaging and shipping of your fine art print. The customer pays for all shipping costs. All sales are final; Roman Russo does not accept refunds, returns, or exchanges. We are unable to make changes or cancellations to an order more than 24 hours after it is placed.
