This Peruvian Artwork was made using a 1/4″ wood board, the beads were pressed on warm wax to create the pattern. Some repairs were made before framing and because the entire back of the board had a hand written story in Spanish I did not adhere a backing to it, instead I created a pool of mat-board where the entire piece fell into safely keeping the bead work from being pressed against the glass. We always make sure the work is framed safely and undisturbed.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Iconography, as a branch of art history, studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images: the subjects depicted, the particular compositions and details used to do so, and other elements that are distinct from artistic style. The word iconography comes from the Greek εἰκών (“image”) and γράφειν (“to write”).

A secondary meaning (based on a non-standard translation of the Greek and Russian equivalent terms) is the production of religious images, called “icons”, in the Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition.

The frame used here is from Fotiou with an added sienna wash. The perfect fit for these pieces.

This Artwork was framed using a fabric mat and an added linett (c) a deep bevel mat. Two frames were used and Anti-Reflective glass. Before framing, the artwork was repaired.

 

These beautiful wood block prints were framed with dark ebony Larson Juhl Frames

from the “Made in America” Cranbrook Collection.

We used a white Studio Moulding frame with a linen white mat in the background.
This is an example of a deep shadowbox.
