# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=salon-hang+wunderkammer
# Salon Hang carries the structure. Wunderkammer appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Salon Hang (Layout, 1667–19th century) and its accent from Wunderkammer (Style, 16th–18th century). Structural cues: Stacked floor to ceiling; Crowded frames; Rank by position; The whole wall used. Accent cues, used sparingly: Accumulation to the ceiling; Nature and artifice mixed; Wonder before classification; A collector's universe. Composition: Principal works at viewing height, tilted and packed tighter as they rise. Type and lettering: Keep titles off the wall, using numbers and an entrance key plan. Let one material quality come from the second style: Dark wood shelving, glass jars, specimen boxes, points of light in darkness. Mood: Exhilaration, Luxury, Play, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Exhibition Design, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Roughly 1651 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Salon Hang: Failing to check the upper works from the angle a visitor looks up produces a wall where reflection and foreshortening hide everything.
# - Wunderkammer: Copying only the density while losing each object's provenance makes the room look like antique stock, and wonder sinks into decoration.
