Suzanne Smeaton will give a 45-minute Powerpoint presentation about re-creating the original, monumental 19th century frame for “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The talk details every step of the process from working with curators and period photographs, crafting, carving, and gilding the frame over 3 years, to the final delivery and installation of the frame that holds the 12-by-21-foot iconic American painting.
