How do I hang a framed oil painting safely?

Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the wooden frame and the canvas or board inside. Use appropriate picture wire secured firmly to the back of the frame. Keep the painting away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to preserve the oil paint and gilded wood.
