The Alte Pinakothek in Munich is hosting a unique exhibition as part of its ‘All Eyes On’ series, which typically focuses on select paintings and sculptures in a broader art-historical context. However, this latest exhibition takes a different approach by highlighting not the artworks themselves, but rather their frames. The display, which runs from July 29, 2023, to January 11, 2026, showcases the significance of original frames in enhancing the viewer’s experience of a painting.<\/p>\n
The exhibition centers around Raphael’s renowned work, “The Canigiani Holy Family” (1505-06), which was given a new tabernacle frame in 2013. This addition has greatly altered the way the painting is perceived, demonstrating the profound impact a well-crafted frame can have on the overall appreciation of a work of art. The frame, made from lime wood, was carefully designed and constructed to complement the painting, and its creation is documented in the exhibition through various stages, including the application of a bolus base for gilding.<\/p>\n
The rarity of original frames from before the 19th century, due to damage, loss, or destruction, makes this exhibition all the more noteworthy. Many frames have been lost or severely damaged over the centuries, often as a result of war or other catastrophic events. Consequently, curators place a high value on original frames, recognizing their role in transforming the viewer’s engagement with a painting.<\/p>\n
By focusing on the frames rather than the paintings themselves, the Alte Pinakothek’s exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the art of framing and its influence on our interpretation of artworks. The display provides a unique opportunity for visitors to appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating a frame, as well as the significant impact it can have on the overall aesthetic and meaning of a painting. As such, the exhibition is a must-see for art enthusiasts and anyone interested in the often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of framing in the world of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
