Boodles has announced the launch of its National Gallery collection to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the National Gallery.
Three new Boodles suites take inspiration from artistic techniques: Play of Light, Brushstrokes and Perspective.
A fourth, Motherhood, acknowledges a key theme of the Gallery itself evidenced by the various representations of maternal love which adorn its many walls.
Finnish artist Askeli Gallen-Kallela’s painting of Lake Keitele in central Finland was the inspiration behind the Play of Light ‘Lake Keitele’ pendant, bangle and earrings.
Claude Monet’s ‘Water-Lillies, Setting Sun’ inspires the second Play of Light set while George Seurat’s ‘The Morning Walk’ inspires the third.
Meanwhile, Canaletto’s ‘Piazza San Marco’ and ‘Entrance to the Cannaregio’ inspired the ‘Perspective’ bangle.
Paul Cezanne’s ‘Avenue at Chantilly’, ‘Hillside in Provence’ and ‘Bathers’ all inform Boodles’ new ‘Brushstrokes’ suite.
The ‘Brushstrokes’ ring is designed around an 18.64-carat aquamarine inspired by Cezanne’s use of oil painting.
