Old Oil Paintings and Portraits

A group of old oil paintings hanging on a dark wall. The scenes are dark: portraits of figures against a dark background, gloomy landscapes, or a still life. The canvas surface has fine cracks and yellowed varnish, and the colors have sunken in. The frames are carved gilded wood, with the gold partially worn off to reveal the red primer. They are hung unevenly, with inconsistent heights and spacing, some slightly tilted. Avoid: using bright, vibrant modern paintings, using thin-framed or frameless contemporary mounting, hanging the paintings neatly aligned, making the frames look brand new and perfect.

一組掛在深色牆上的舊油畫。畫面是暗的:深色背景的人物肖像、陰沉的風景、或是一幅靜物。畫布的表面有龜裂的細紋與泛黃的凡尼斯,顏色已經沉下去。畫框是雕花的鍍金木框,金色局部磨掉露出紅色底漆。它們掛得不整齊,高度與間距不一致,有些略微傾斜。避免:使用明亮鮮豔的現代畫作、使用細框與無框的當代裱裝、把畫整齊對齊掛好、讓畫框看起來全新完好。
