How do I care for an old oil painting?

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and drastic fluctuations in temperature or humidity, which can cause the canvas to slacken and the paint to crack. Dust the surface very gently with a soft, dry brush, and avoid using any water, chemical cleaners, or moisture on either the canvas or the frame.

Are these paintings supplied with their frames?

Most listings include the period frame specified in the description, such as giltwood or carved timber surrounds. These enclosures are often contemporary to the artwork or from a closely matched historical period, serving both a decorative and protective function.

How can I tell a 17th-century painting from a 19th-century one?

Seventeenth-century works typically employ the dramatic lighting and rich, dark palettes associated with the Baroque period, often depicting nobility in ruffs or elaborate doublets. Nineteenth-century pieces frequently lean towards greater realism in landscapes and portraiture, reflecting the evolving techniques and aesthetic priorities of the Victorian era.

What is the difference between an artist and a school?

An artwork attributed to a specific named painter was produced directly by that individual's hand. Works designated as a particular school indicate pieces created by followers, pupils, or circle members working in that master's distinct style during or shortly after their lifetime.
