Re-framing Sebastiano
November 28 2016
Picture: Peter Schade
I'm enjoying Peter Schade's updates (on Twitter) on his work re-framing the National Gallery's Raising of Lazarus by Sebastiano del Piombo. It's an entirely new frame; quite an achievement. It's fascinating to see how the gilding begins life with the full Donald Trump (as below) before being aged, and to speculate on just how blingey such frames might have been originally.
The frame will be finished for the National's new 'Michelangelo & Sebastiano' show opening in March.
