Frames. As my buddy Lori Cooper Smith reminded me, frames do articulate the time and location of the painting. Just look at that Madonna and Child. The tabernacle style gilded frame makes a complete statement of the early Renaissance when the Church commissioned so many of these paintings by a host of artists. The frame adds to the devotional quality of the scene. As I see the Flemish painting ,whose artist escapes me at the moment, the frame gives me the feeling of how the Dutch furniture guilds were masters of technique and the frame looks like fine cabinetry molding. Again, I like how it compliments the painting.
