  • Peter Schade, the Head of the Framing department at the National Gallery, shows the process of creating six huge matching frames for the Titian: Love Desire Death exhibition. Matthias Wivel, Curator of 16th-century Italian paintings, and curator of the exhibition, discusses how these frames complement the paintings, known as Titian's 'poesie'.
    Watch the process of these frames being created, from workshop to exhibition. This includes sourcing materials, planing, carving, gilding, and toning the frames.

    Thank God there are still people who take art so seriously. And with such talent and joy, too! Beautiful work

    I 100% understand the reason for adding patina. But isn't it likely that when the pictures were first framed, the gold was bright and vibrant? And if the frame is to last for another 100 years, it will naturally gain a patina. As opposed to adding it now... I don't know. I think it's a bit of a shame. An adherence to a rigid idea of "preserving the past" ... but the longest lasting preservations are those that bring new life and vitality, so it can be appreciated and utilized for generations to come. If it hadn't been for those shop owners that built inside the Colosseum and kept it useful, it surely would have been destroyed centuries ago.

    My goodness this is impressive. I think I’m most impressed by how the frames were cut and carved so precisely that you were able to put them together like puzzle pieces. Beautiful job

    I hazard the thought that Titiano would have been pleased with the monumental effort of the artisans involved to frame his beloved Poesie in a manner befitting the glorious achievements of this supreme master ..

    This is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing! The detail and work poured into these frames shows through in the end result spectacularly!

    Amazing from start to finish (on a tangent... a German, a Frenchman and an italian are bringing their knowledge and dedication to such wonderful work... just makes the absurdity of brexit extra obvious, doesn't it?)

    I know nothing about frame making or woodworking but just listening to this man here makes me want to work with him.

    Cool frames. Titian is a bit of a yawn. Now Tintoretto, that was an artist.

    Oh ,my goodness! Never imagined the lengths that the gallery goes to ,to maintain the sense of continuity when refurbishing these glorious art pieces! I'm in awe of these crafts men and women ! Such depth of skills that would go unrecognized were it not for the gallery acknowledging their incredible contributions!!! Bravo ! Bravo!!
