FAQs

Impressionist landscape paintings are characterised by visible brushstrokes, an emphasis on light and its changing qualities, and ordinary subject matter captured in a natural setting.

Traditional oil paintings are created using pigment suspended in a drying oil, applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, and typically housed in a wooden or gilt frame.

Authenticity is assessed by examining canvas ageing, craquelure in the paint layer, stretcher frame construction, pigment analysis, and the presence of artist signatures or stamps.

An antique painting adds depth and character to modern spaces when hung at eye level on a neutral wall, allowing its natural textures and tones to act as a focal point.

Preservation involves keeping the painting away from direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity and temperature levels, and dusting gently with a soft, dry brush.
