How should I hang an oil painting?

Hang the work away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the canvas and oil pigments over time. Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the frame and the painting. Keep the piece at a stable room temperature to prevent the canvas and wooden stretcher from warping or cracking.

How do I identify the period?

Examine the style of dress on any figures, the architectural details, and the construction methods of the frame and stretcher bars. Nineteenth-century works often feature tighter brushwork and specific framing styles compared to later twentieth-century interpretations. Artist signatures and historical exhibition labels on the reverse also help establish the date of creation.

Are these works unique?

Every piece is an individual hand-painted work created directly on canvas by an artist. No two paintings share the exact same brushstrokes, perspective, or treatment of light. Artists returned to popular locations like Venice or local market squares repeatedly, yet each canvas remains a distinct creation.

How do I clean a canvas painting?

Dust the surface very gently with a soft, dry brush to remove loose particles. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or household cloths on the painted surface. Consult a professional conservator if the paint surface requires deeper cleaning or stabilisation.
