Are these paintings signed?

Many works bear the artist's signature or monogram, often located in a lower corner of the canvas or panel. Unsigned pieces frequently emerge from studio collections or school groups where attribution relies on stylistic traits and historical documentation.

How do I hang a heavy framed canvas?

Secure the piece directly into wall studs using appropriate picture hooks or professional hanging brackets rated for the weight. Avoid placing oil paintings in direct sunlight or above active heat sources to protect the canvas and wooden frame from warping.

What is the difference between canvas and panel supports?

Canvas provides a woven fabric surface that yields slightly under brush pressure and accommodates larger compositional scales. Panel supports offer a completely rigid wooden plane favoured by artists seeking smooth detail or miniature precision.
