Nicholas Penny examines the often-overlooked role of the picture frame within the context of the National Gallery’s collection. This scholarly volume explores the historical evolution of framing styles, the technical craftsmanship of gilding and carving, and the aesthetic relationship between the frame and the painting it protects. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how these decorative elements influence the presentation and perception of Western masterworks.
