How do I care for an oil painting on canvas?

Keep painted canvases away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent the oil paint from cracking and the canvas from slackening. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical cleaning agents or water on the paint layer.

What is the difference between an oil painting and an oleograph?

An oil painting consists of hand-applied pigments on canvas by an artist, showing genuine brush texture and layering under close inspection. An oleograph is a printed reproduction technique that uses lithography on canvas to imitate the appearance and texture of oil paint.

How can I tell the period of a canvas painting?

Examine the canvas weave, the stretcher frame construction, and the type of nails or tacks used at the reverse edge, as manufacturing methods changed significantly from the eighteenth century onward. Artist signatures, historical clothing styles, and the framing materials also offer clear chronological clues.

Where should I hang heavy framed wall art?

Mount heavy giltwood and wood-framed canvases directly into wall studs or use appropriate masonry fixings to bear the substantial weight safely. Position the artwork at eye level and away from heat sources like radiators to protect both the canvas and the decorative frame.
