Picture lighting

Choose picture lighting around the artwork size, mounting position and reflected appearance. Check projection and adjustment so the frame and surface are evenly addressed. Confirm colour quality and the needs of sensitive materials with the responsible specialist. Show a dimensioned example and explain how to avoid reflections at common viewing positions.

How to compare artwork size, projection, distribution and conservation needs

Artwork size

The lit area should be covered evenly from top to bottom.

Projection

Set the stand-off so the beam clears the frame without hot spots.

Distribution

Asymmetric optics wash a canvas more evenly than a symmetric beam.

Colour quality

High CRI with good R9 keeps reds and skin tones accurate.

Conservation

Check illuminance limits with the responsible conservator for sensitive work.
