Presenting an artwork in detail
You see things in your artwork that nobody notices. Place markers on the image: visitors discover them as a guided tour, with a sharp zoom on each zone and your words alongside.
Promenade au bord de la mer
Markers chosen by the artist. Follow the tour, or explore freely by tapping a marker on the artwork.

The veil caught in the wind
The whole painting lives in this gesture: the hand holding the veil, the fabric snapping. The wind is the real subject — invisible, yet everywhere.
A face barely stated
A few touches are enough: the hat's shadow, the light on the cheek. Up close, the face dissolves into brushstrokes; from afar, it gazes out to sea.
Straw and ribbon
The paint is thick, almost sculpted. The yellow of the straw catches the same light as the sand — a quiet echo from one edge of the canvas to the other.
The signature, in the sand
“J. Sorolla, 1909” — laid right on the beach, like a footprint. The kind of detail you only notice by stepping closer.
A demo artwork, four markers placed — open the tour: this is exactly what your visitors will see.
Demo artwork: Joaquín Sorolla, “Strolling along the Seashore” (1909), public domain.
A tour, not a listing
The artwork opens alone, full screen on a dark background. Everything else fades away.
The guided tour
Visitors follow your markers in the order you chose. At each step, the image glides and zooms onto the zone, with your text alongside.
Free exploration
They can also tap a marker directly on the artwork — the way you step closer to a painting in a gallery.
A zoom that stays sharp
The zoom is capped at the true sharpness of your photo. Visitors will never see a pixelated detail.
Show what only you can see
A gesture, a texture, an almost invisible detail: that is often where the work happens. And it is what holds a collector's attention.
The studio gaze
Standing in front of the work, you would point at these zones while talking. The tour does exactly that — when you are not there.
Where the tour appears. On your artwork page in the gallery and on your Pro Site, in French and in English.
Three gestures, from the artwork record
No technical settings: everything happens on the artwork's edit page.
Place a marker
Click on the image where you want to point. Up to seven markers per artwork, movable at any time.
Write your words
A title if you wish, a few sentences above all — in French, and in English for foreign visitors.
Choose the framing
Close-up, detail or texture: the preview instantly shows what visitors will see.
Starting from a blank page?
The analysis can suggest a first route: markers placed on the image, each with a framing and a text in French and English. You review, adjust, delete — the tour stays yours.
Your questions about the artwork tour
All of them: painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography… The tour relies on the artwork's main photo. The sharper and more detailed your photo, the further the zoom can go.
Up to seven per artwork. Three to five are often enough: a short, curated tour leaves more of a mark than a full inventory.
Each marker carries a text in French and a text in English. Visitors automatically see the language of their browsing.
They stay saved in your workspace. The tour is simply no longer shown to the public — and reappears as it was if you go Pro again.
The image is never cropped or retouched. The zoom adapts to the sharpness of your photo — the more detailed it is, the further it goes.
