The Pania picture light blends a traditional picture light design with the warm tone of antique brass. Picture lights are a simple way to keep your favourite pieces of art well-lit and visible. They're intended to spread light evenly across the whole artwork. They also provide a soft layer of light, that can help soften a mood in a room and create a more cosy environment. The basic principle for a traditional picture light is that your picture light should be half to a third of your artwork, excluding its frame. This applies mostly to landscape format paintings. For artwork in portrait format, the picture light should be approximately half of the width of the painting, exclusive of the frame.
