Frames and supports in 15th and 16th-century Southern Netherlandish painting

CHAPTER VIII 152 2. Frames with ogee moulding on the outside 30 frames have an ogee-shaped outer body of moulding (fig. 75). The oldest example encountered is the Triptych of the Last Judgement by Bernard van Orley (Antwerp, RMFA , no. 10 ). Here the ogee moulding is combined with other mouldings (cavetto, square-cornered,…). The squared corners sometimes extend to form a second flat band. We no longer encounter lower rails in the form of an inclined sill.
