Have you ever wondered how many shades of gray there are? And no, not just the typical 50. Gray is one of the most versatile colors that a person can decorate their house with. Gray, especially midnight gray art can go in almost any room in your house. Perhaps you don’t like midnight gray as a main color. But an art deco or modern skyline framed midnight gray art piece would go well in any well decorated 21st century home.
The iconic piece Whistler’s Mother Alex McNeil Whistler is a classic example of the use of gray scale painting. This framed midnight gray art piece would be a talking point in any home. This type of style is known as grisaille. This genre of painting comes from the monochromatic style that usually accompanies midnight gray artworks. Originating in the 13th century, grisaille is a genre widely practiced today.
Matthew Paris, who lived from 1200 to 1259, was one of the founders of this genre. Because he had limited materials to create his works of art, he mainly had to use charcoal, which created many gray scale type works. Eventually picked up by the Netherlandish Renaissance movement in the 1400s, grisaille began to pick up momentum as a genre and has blossomed into many wonderful framed midnight gray pieces that can be found today.
With the rise of art deco and realism, grisaille is not as widely practiced, but can still be found today. There are many other famous pieces that can be found in this style, any of which would be an excellent addition to any home. A framed midnight gray art piece is a necessity in any 21st century home.
