Use on this website

Home page, header area (background image)

Desktop
On the right of the header area, behind the heading. Resized to 2400 px width, cropped to the aspect ratio of the area (section slightly above the centre), colours strongly desaturated, slightly sepia-toned and brightened, 75 % opacity. Overlaid from the left with a light gradient to keep the text legible; it grows slightly and fades when scrolling.
Tablet
Same as on desktop (tablets from 768 px width): image on the right of the header area, same resizing, cropping and colour adjustment.
Mobile
Full width along the top edge (height about 82 % of the screen width), centre crop showing the quadriga and the passage. Resized, saturation slightly reduced (less than on desktop), slightly sepia-toned, 100 % opacity; the image fades out into the light background at the bottom.
