What periods do these paintings cover?

Where should I hang a cityscape?

These works suit reception rooms, studies or hallways where adequate wall space allows the composition to breathe. Pairing them with neutral walls lets the oil pigments and gilt frames stand out.

How do I care for oil paintings?

Keep canvases away from direct sunlight and dramatic fluctuations in temperature or humidity. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush without applying pressure to the paint.

What is the difference between oil and watercolour?

Oils use pigment suspended in drying oil on canvas or wood, offering rich texture and depth. Watercolours utilise water-soluble pigments on paper, creating lighter and more translucent imagery.
