What size do these print at?

Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a framed panel.

Can I get a different subject, like an animal or a heraldic motif?

Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three ages render it.

What's the difference between the three ages?

Burnished gold is polished to a mirror shine, matte laid gold keeps a soft even glow without polish, and distressed gold shows tearing, seams and age wear over the leaf.

Is this a real gilded panel or a rendered image?

It's a rendered image styled to look like gilded gesso — there's no physical panel made or photographed.

Gold leaf art: lion, letter, panel

Gold leaf — A lion's head laid in gold leaf on a gesso ground, the mane's locks tooled into the bole beneath so the leaf catches light in ridges, the leaf torn and overlapping at the edges with red bole showing through in hairline cracks., burnished gold leaf, a mirror-bright specular running as one moving band, no grain but visible leaf seams, edges torn and feathered, low raking light from camera-left so the tooled ridges flare, a dark ground with a blazing subject

Reading 3Painted panel

Gold leaf is a metal a few atoms thick laid over gesso: it tears, seams, crackles and blazes. These nine render a lion, a letter and a small painted panel, each burnished, matte laid, and distressed. Ask for a different subject — an animal, a monogram, a heraldic motif — and the same three ages carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
