Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780750686198
Description: London: Butterworth-Heinemann, 2009. 28cm., hardcover, 328pp., more than 100 color plates. Renaissance Frames is an in-depth analysis of materials and techniques used on forty of the V&A’s most important Renaissance frames. This visually stunning and technically detailed book will enable the reader to recognise frame style, the design appropriate for the period, as well as additions or alterations and frames that have been made later, but ‘aged’ to look older. In addition to covering materials and techniques, form and function, an explanation of how surface decoration is achieved and whether the surface is original or not (particularly of use in detecting fakes), Renaissance Frames offers digital reconstruction of selected frames to see what they originally looked like and explains why they look like they do today.
