Join us for an engaging and informative talk by Peter Schade, who has been the Head of the Framing Department at the National Gallery in London since 2005. Responsible for the frames of more than two thousand paintings which make up the UK’s major collection of European art, Peter has to date changed over 350 frames in the permanent collection. Born in East Germany, Peter moved to London in 1990 when he first worked with picture frames. For this talk, Peter will show examples of how frames manipulate our encounters with paintings and will explain the National Gallery’s approach to framing Old Masters.
