The Meridian Shell, a deep ocean blue and gold shell drawn over a ruled meridian grid, Golden ratio poster, Da Vinci style nautilus print by RAGANA Design

DA VINCI REIMAGINED

The Meridian Shell

Da Vinci Reimagined in Ocean Proportion

Two spheres wound into one shell — a pale chalk half carrying the figures, a deep ocean half ruled into meridians — with the spiral turning tightly where the two meet.

The blue does the work here. It is the darkest piece in the collection and the one that reads best from the far side of a room.

  • QUESTIONS
    How large can I print it?

    The file is around 9,000 px on the long edge. 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 →

    How big, and how high, on my wall?

    Width of the furniture beneath divided by 1.618; centre of the picture at 150 cm from the floor. How to hang wall art using the golden ratio →
