What periods do these paintings cover?

The inventory spans multiple centuries, incorporating seventeenth-century masterworks, eighteenth-century portraits, and nineteenth-century realist or romantic scenes. Later pieces extend into the early twentieth century, capturing transitional styles up to the art deco era.

How should I care for an oil painting?

Keep canvases and panels away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent the paint surface from cracking or warping. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush without applying liquid cleaners directly to the pigment.

Are these paintings signed by the artist?

Some works bear clear signatures, monograms, or studio stamps from recognised makers and regional school painters. Other historical pieces remain unattributed or represent the circle and follower traditions of prominent masters.

What is the difference between canvas and panel works?

Canvas supports offer flexibility and a textured woven ground that accommodates larger compositions and expressive brushwork. Wood panels provide a rigid, smooth surface favoured in earlier centuries for capturing fine, intricate detail.
