What lighting is best for these artworks?

Display the canvas away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent fading of the oil pigments and degradation of the underlying canvas or panel. Low-heat LED picture lights positioned above the frame offer safe illumination. Maintain stable room temperatures and moderate humidity to prevent the oak panels or canvas from warping and cracking over time.

How can I identify the sitter in a portrait?

Look for contemporary inscriptions on the front or reverse of the canvas, which often record the name, age or title of the individual. Heraldic crests, coats of arms or specific military regalia also provide vital clues for identification. Archival records, sitter registers and comparison with known engravings by printmakers often help historians connect a face to a documented historical figure.

What is the difference between panel and canvas works?

Earlier seventeenth-century works were frequently painted on sturdy oak panels, providing a rigid support that influenced the flat, precise nature of Jacobean painting. Canvas became increasingly dominant as the century progressed. Canvas allowed for larger, more dynamic compositions favoured by Baroque painters influenced by continental techniques.
