Eiffel Tower: Midnight Elegance (Exhibition Piece)

Eiffel Tower: Midnight Elegance is a captivating framed photographic print by Jaime Dormer, offering an evocative portrayal of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. This exclusive piece within Dormer’s exhibition collection captures the Eiffel Tower in a moment of ethereal beauty, standing tall against a dramatic Parisian night sky.

Rising to 324 metres, the Eiffel Tower is an unmistakable symbol of Paris and a globally recognised architectural masterpiece. Designed by the renowned engineer Gustave Eiffel, this wrought iron lattice tower was constructed between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair. Although initially met with criticism from leading artists and intellectuals of the time, the tower has since become a celebrated cultural icon and remains the most-visited paid monument in the world.

Dormer’s vision for this photograph was to capture the tower’s illuminated splendour from the edge of the Seine, creating a composition that highlights its intricate details and shimmering reflections. He sought to convey the romance and grandeur of Paris, known as the City of Love, with the Eiffel Tower pointing majestically into a cloud-filled evening sky.

Dormer describes the experience: 

“Waiting til late in the evening to capture the tower fully alight from the edge of the Seine, I wanted to ensure the exquisite detail, sparkling reflections and showcase the romance that is Paris, the city of Love. Pointing up into the dramatic night sky, the iconic tower fits perfectly into my World Icon series.”

Framing the Image

Frame Details:
The photograph is presented in an elegant, contemporary frame designed to elevate and preserve the artwork.

The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton paper that brings out the photograph's rich tones and details. To protect and maintain the integrity of the print, three coatings of Hahnemühle protective surface spray have been meticulously applied in a crosshatch pattern.
