What a great pair of tortoise shell inlayed frames at the IMA! I may be mistaken about the inlay being tortoise shell, let me know if you recognize this material.

Brass, chased, with cast details and stone inlay! What an awesome frame that adds so much attention to the painting and no mention of it on the info card.

OK, so I opened a can of worms with my frames are under appreciated comments. It seems that lots of you feel the same way. So I thought why not post more awesome frames pictures that I have taken. So…..
This is Jan van Goyen’s oil on wood, “The Old Church at Egmond ann Zee”

Carlos Duque - The Golden Shadow
“Standing with a camera in front of paintings at the Louvre in Paris and the MET in New York, photographer Carlos Duque directs eyes, not at painting itself, but at the frame edges encapsulating each masterpiece. Luminous margins, sparkling shadows, subordinate shimmers encompass the creative anonymity of each classic artwork.”

“Margaret MacKittrick” by Abbott Handerson Thayer circa 1903. A wonderful oil on canvas painting. However the tag says nothing about the frame, I mean really, look at that frame! I don’t think we appreciate the craftsmanship of frames enough.
