Casa Gennari Mounts - Free Lecture

Post by span2iels »

Guercino picture mounts - free lecture 16th August

This free lecture by experienced picture framer and mount designer Mal Reynolds will explore his attempts to recreate the mounts of the artist Guercino

The Italian baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri is better known to the world as 'Guercino'. Born near Bologna in 1591, he gained a reputation for the vivacity of his work and for his ability to produce drawings quickly, producing over 250 works during his lifetime, some of which can be seen in the world's great galleries.

A number of his drawings are surrounded by hand drawn geometrical panels, the technical artistry and accuracy of which rival the main subjects of the artworks. It is these panels which intrigued and inspired Mal Reynolds to attempt to recreate them as modern picture surrounds using a Valiani Computerised Mount Cutter.

In this free public lecture, Mal will discuss Guercino's work as well as his own attempts to reproduce them using modern, computer aided design processes.

The lecture begins at 2pm in The Collection's auditorium and will last for about an hour. The lecture is free and there is no need to book.
