The best way is to find a stud in the wall or use several screws with the brass supports and a wire. You can attach a wire on the back with eyelet screws. We have heavy oil paintings and this is the best way we have found to hang them safely.

Heavy Picture Hooks
French cleat. Measure down from each corner and make a mark. Now measure from one corner to the opposite mark on each side. Where the lines cross is your wall's center.
If it is a large painting use two large picture hooks adjacent to each other. A picture should not necessarily be centered on the wall. It should be centered over the objects beneath it.
I'm sorry, Joyce but what you describe is not a French cleat. A French cleat is two interlocking pieces of wood that could have a heavy object (like a heavy painting or headboard) fastened to it.
You will need to use weighted picture hangers
