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

EVOLUTION OF THE MOULDINGS OF FRAMES 155 D. Other frames A small number of frames do not fit into any of these categories (fig. 77). The frame can be a double one, with a large inner frame with the flat band decorated with various scenes (fig. 77: 5). In some cases, the outer body of moulding extends out forwards, to require a second piece of wood to be attached to the narrow side of the first frame (fig. 77: 4, 11). These “case-frames” or “box frames” were to prove very popular in the 17th century. Fig. 77. Frames with moulding that does not fit into any one of the earlier groups. 1.
