Course content
This seminar presents half a millennium of picture framing by discussing the history of frame-styles in connection to architecture, painting, and the decorative arts. In five afternoon-sessions, we review the history of picture frames: from the international gothic style to the Italian and Northern Renaissance, via the Dutch Golden Age and the French Louis Frame Styles into 19th and 20th-century framing. The participants will receive tools for distinguishing styles and periods of frame manufacture. The webinar serves both first-time learners and mid-career professionals.
Lecturer
From 1990 until 2020, Hubert Baija has worked in the department of paintings of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam as the senior conservator-restorer of frames and gilding. He has taught and coached numerous conservation students and mid-career professionals worldwide since 1997 while continuing to advise institutions, collectors, fellow conservators, and art historians on matters of conservation, authentication, and historically accurate re-framing. Currently, Hubert is a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Amsterdam on original Northern Netherlandish picture framing.
