The new, handcrafted artesan frames address the specific needs of each painting, whether covering additions to the canvas not from the original artist or adapting the shape of the frame for the exact curvature of the wooden gothic panels.
All the frames were designed and coordinated under the supervision of the Frame Restoration Department of the Museo del Prado.
