Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The Prado in Madrid have published the following video giving an insider's view into a new frame made for Diego Velázquez's The Spinners. This new frame, which is incorporated into a wall of the gallery, hides the later eighteenth century additions without physically cutting them off from Velázquez's original canvas. A very interesting project indeed!
