“This strong square shape, this shutting off of everything else, is not only an assistance to beauty: it is the essential of Beauty. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.”

G.K. Chesterton, English journalist and writer, 1917.

The frame not only protects your painting but also focuses the eye and the mind on the work - without distraction from its surroundings. Also, when you have other works nearby, the frame can even say something about the value that you place on the painting. If you would like to order a framed picture (incorporating the ‘stretched’ painting) then that we can also provide. This saves you the inconvenience and expense of finding your own (usually very expensive) picture-framer! You can preview your chosen painting with any frame available from our collection. If you decide to buy a framed painting then our stretching service is free of charge. Larger sizes are available - just send us your request by E-mail to customerservice@artraart.com. We will reply with a quote.
