How should I hang large artwork between two windows?

I am remodeling our dining room. I found a large piece of art work that I would like to hang between two large verticle windows. My question is where to hang between the windows. I feel that it should be hung at a height between the floor and top of window frame. My husband thinks we should hang it where the frame of the picture is higher than the window frame? The table I have the artwork sitting on is ”about” how I think it should be hung… without anything under it. I really love the painting but now I am doubting my choice of size. Will it work here and where should I hang it to work between those two windows.

I like where you have it - minus the table underneath, of course. As you can see in the pics below, the designers have placed the art just below the tops of the window molding.

Great piece! I would hang it so that the top it even with the top of the window frame.

Are you adding drapery or or other window treatments?

Thank you! Yes, I ordered white wood blinds and I am considering adding white curtains with black rods. I have 2 more windows on the other side of the room. The room is basically empty because this use to be my formal living room (that we never used in the 13 years in the house) and making it a formal dining room.

I like where you have it placed now. Personally, I don't like when art lines up with the tops of windows. Creates too much of a horizontal line.
