What is a panel painting?

A panel painting is a work of art created on a flat piece of wood rather than stretched canvas. This traditional technique provides a sturdy and enduring foundation for the pigments.

How do I care for wooden panels?

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and dramatic fluctuations in room temperature and humidity. Stable indoor conditions prevent the wood from warping and protect the painted surface.

Why use wood instead of canvas?

Wood offers a completely rigid surface that does not slacken or stretch over time like woven fabric. This firmness allows artists to apply fine brushstrokes with exceptional precision and control.

Are these paintings usually signed?

Many examples feature artist signatures or initials inscribed directly into the wet paint or noted on the reverse. Unsigned works often reflect the output of regional schools or anonymous decorative painters.
