How should I hang an oil painting on canvas?

Canvas paintings require secure wall fixings suited to the combined weight of the artwork and its wooden frame. Position the piece away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources to protect the oil pigments and canvas. Ensure the hanging wire or brackets on the back of the frame are structurally sound before mounting. Professional picture hooks matched to your wall type provide the best support.

What is the difference between oil on canvas and oil on board?

Oil on canvas involves applying paint to a woven textile stretched over a wooden frame, offering slight flexibility and texture. Oil on board uses a rigid wooden or composite flat surface as the support for the pigments. Both techniques utilise oil-based paints, but the underlying support alters the physical character of the painting. Canvas works often display the distinctive weave of the fabric beneath the brushstrokes.

Are these floral paintings signed by the artists?

Many of the listed works feature visible signatures or inscriptions left by the original painters. These signatures often appear in the corners of the canvas or are recorded on the reverse of the work. Some pieces are documented through artist studio sales or historical provenance records. Unsigned works are attributed based on stylistic comparisons and period characteristics.
