Standard sizes stretchers
 

Just read the message ranzhera, where he writes about the standard sizes of pictures and decided to post the table of this size - maybe it is useful to someone.

All formats can be divided into 3 types: "figure" (most approximating to the square), "landscape" (the difference between large and small side larger), "marina "(an even more significant difference). Then, depending on the size of a large hand, each format is given a number.

Thus, for example, 15F ═ 65x54, 15P ═ 65x50, 15M ═ 65x46

I honestly do not know where to put this post, if the administration finds a more suitable section, move.

LCR, that's valuable information, thank you. For example, I only heard about the standards, and a table saw for the first time.

In addition to the first post - the old formats of standard French canvases, which are still used. Modern matches only Razeni (15 Landscape). The most common are Razeni and Zhezyu - they are highlighted in yellow.

1. Klosh (bell, bell)
2. Teler (named in honor of Chancellor Tellier (1603-1685), who introduced him to the use
3. ECU (shield)
4. Coquille (sink)
5. Razeni (grape)
6. Zhezyu (Jesus)
7. Soleil (Sun)
8. Petit Aigle (small eagle)
9. Grand Aigle (large eagle)
10. Grand Monde (big world)
11. Elbrus (Universe)

Forgot your point number 9 of the size of my shop Maren

In modern shops selling components stretchers (multiply 5cm), artists commonly use them, and it is convenient for industrial production. What bound given size? Please comment, who knows. This is a translation from another system of measures, or "golden proportion"? Everywhere is sold and the frame is also accurate (multiple of 5) sizes. As in "Western" practice using this list? And as our artists with "what horrible" sizes fit into these setting?

Thank you all for the information about the size of stretchers.

I think it looks like a raving ..... I met sizes 30x40 -------- 40x50 --- 50x60 ---- 60x80 ---- 80x100-110 - etc. ...... perhaps this is only the French standard ...

we still love and 50x50, 50x70

In the 70 years in St. Petersburg lectures (to apartment) acted artist AP Zaitsev (r.1937). He developed the theme of the Renaissance and the formats of pictures to prove it. Also the formats of communication with the composition of the painting. It was about the "golden" proportions. Roughly it can be done twice, for example, her first diagonal of the square, then what happens to the diagonal (ie, every time restoring the perpendicular from the point where the fall diagonal (more precisely the "root of 3 to 1). That's what be the correct format. Regardless of what the initial size of the square. omit the diagonal can be extended if needed more oblong format.

I understand that these dimensions are indeed linked with the golden section, but the "victims" of a transformation in the metric system (originally they were measured in the "pied" (foot feet). The format of "Marina" in principle, observe the golden section. Format figure is based on combined 2-marin, ie a doubling of the golden section, etc.

In Germany, Belgium and Italy are used sizes are listed in the attachment.
