Synopsis

This highly acclaimed landmark publication provides a beautifully illustrated guide to the most familiar frame styles associated with the major European artistic movements from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. By considering the frame historically, in both its wider physical context and its formal relationship to the work of art, this detailed visual history reveals the extent to which a frame can enhance our appreciation of a picture.
