Only for Apple TV

Apple TV
We added four new galleries: Space, Earth from Above, Early Colour Photography, and Maps & Star Charts. Nearly eight hundred pictures, every one chosen by hand.
Salon turns your Apple TV into a picture frame.
Choose a picture and it stays there — edge to edge, filling the screen the way a picture fills a wall. No captions, no clutter, nothing between you and the work.
CHOSEN, NOT SCRAPED
Every picture in Salon has been looked at by a person before it reaches your wall. Open collections are full of work that is free to use and hopeless on a television: portraits taller than they are wide, faint pencil studies, the blank back of a sketchbook page. None of that is here.
What is here has been checked for shape, for sharpness, and for whether it still looks like something from across a room — then cut to exactly 3840 x 2160, so your television neither crops it nor letterboxes it.
TWENTY GALLERIES
Renaissance, Old Master Prints, Baroque, Dutch Golden Age, Rococo, Romanticism, Hudson River School, Barbizon School, Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Ukiyo-e, Master Drawings, American Painting, Early Modern Painting — and Featured, drawn from all of them.
This includes artists like Monet, Renoir, Degas, Seurat, Turner, Constable, Rubens, Canaletto, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Homer, Bierstadt, Church, Cole, Sargent, Whistler, Van Gogh, Eakins.
And four that are not paintings at all:
- Space: Jupiter's cloud belts, Pluto's mountains, the Andromeda galaxy, aurorae seen from orbit.
- Earth from Above: river deltas, ice sheets and deserts, photographed mostly by the Landsat satellites, which look like abstract painting and are not.
- Early Colour Photography: Photochrom prints of the 1890s and Kodachromes of wartime America, from before colour film was ordinary.
- Maps & Star Charts: hand-coloured world maps and celestial atlases, most of them from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
FRAMED, OR NOT
Leave the picture edge to edge, or set it behind a bevel-cut mat — a passepartout in five board colours and three widths, with an even border on all four sides. A live preview beside the settings shows the real thing as you choose it.
A CLOCK, IF YOU WANT ONE
Off, time, or time and date. Any corner. Twelve or twenty-four hour.
KEEP WHAT YOU LIKE
Save pictures to Favourites and let the frame move through them on its own — every minute, five, fifteen, or hour, in order or shuffled, fading gently from one to the next. Saved pictures are kept on the device, so the frame carries on working if your connection drops.
WHERE THE PICTURES COME FROM
Every work is in the public domain, published for unrestricted use by the institution that holds it: the National Gallery of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian Institution, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Wikimedia Commons. Each picture names its own source on screen.
NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Salon asks for nothing. No sign-in, no analytics, no data collection of any kind. Buy it once and it is yours.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Four new galleries:
- Space: photographs from NASA — Jupiter, Pluto, distant galaxies, auroras from orbit.
- Earth from Above: 100 photographs of Earth from orbit, most of them from the Landsat satellites.
- Early Colour Photography: colour photographs from the 1890s to the 1940s.
- Maps & Star Charts: hand-coloured world maps and celestial atlases.
The collection is now nearly 800 pictures across 20 galleries.
Pictures now fade gently into one another when the frame moves through your Favourites
The gallery and Favourites screens were rebuilt: bigger pictures, a cleaner highlight, and the same layout everywhere.
Picture detail screens are tidier.
With a mat, the clock now sits on the picture instead of overlapping the mat's edge.
In Settings, up and down now always move one row at a time.
