A nautilus is a popular marine animal. It is easy to recognize for its shells are logarithmically spiral. The several pieces of
framed nautilus art have these mathematically-accurate shells as their main subject matter.
Photographed by Donna Geissler in Iridescent Seashell I, the spiral of a nautilus can be clearly seen in all its elegance. Mark Baker’s Nautilus II also delivers the same artistic result in his
framed nautilus art piece. Both pieces accurately display the logarithmically accurate spirals of nautilus shells.
The accuracy of the logarithmic spirals of nautilus shells takes a slight creative turn with Albert Koetsier’s Circles of the Sea I and Circles of the Sea II. In these framed nautilus photographs, Koetsier delivers his own take on the artistic quality of the nautilus. Another artwork that has the same creative approach is Neptune’s Garden I by Bert Myers which has a sense of hypnotizing quality in it. With the unconventional color choices and a take on the golden ratio, it is sure to be a hit among art lovers.
Mythic Beach VI by Jeff Friesen is another piece that is at first glance very simple but at the same time beautiful. The image of a nautilus placed on a dune of sand is very aesthetically fulfilling and the combination of colors further heightens its class. Seeing the curve of the nautilus fit seamlessly into the bank of sand is quite oddly satisfying. The angle of the shot as well as the shadows of the nautilus on the sand further heighten the subject matter of the shot and thus makes the photograph a lot more outstanding.
