Picture frames are important for the overall impression of the picture. They direct the eye, set accents, create boundaries and are evidence of style, zeitgeist or artistic attitude. It was not uncommon for the painters themselves to design the frames for their works.
This tour of our collection takes you on a journey from early picture frames to Expressionism. Take a closer look and focus on the art of framing.
