Da Vinci Reimagined in the Golden Spiral
Half notebook page, half finished plate.

A nautilus opens out across the right in teal and gold leaf while the left stays as working drawings — figures, marginalia and a column of numbers in a hand nobody was meant to read.
The spiral is the real subject. Each chamber steps out by the same ratio as the last, so the eye keeps travelling outward and never finds an edge to stop at.

How large can I print it?
The file is 10,240 x 10,240 px. That prints crisply to about 75 cm on the long edge at gallery quality, and to 130–170 cm at the distance you look at a picture over furniture. Sizes, paper and framing, in detail →
Which paper or surface?
Gold on dark grounds wants a matte or satin fine-art paper (200–310 gsm), or aluminium for humid rooms; glossy photo paper turns the black into a mirror. The pale works also take satin and baryta papers.
Which licence do I need?
Personal (€34) covers your own home and gifts. Any business or space open to the public — a spa, clinic, hotel, office, restaurant — needs the commercial licence (€377, one venue, no renewal). The venue guide →
