These may include a temporary \u201ccamy lining\u201d, a solid insert or a bespoke backing to minimize the impact of vibration and risk of impact damage to the canvas, especially if it is unlined. Paintings on wooden supports can be particularly vulnerable due to the wood\u2019s ability to shrink and expand with changes of humidity. This can be mitigated by ensuring the painting is properly fitted and supported in the frame, glazing and housing the painting inside a microclimate travel frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20171013_144724-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20171013_144724-2.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20171013_144724-2-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>An example of a removable solid insert to protect paintings in transit<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of the damage to paintings occurs due to poor framing: either through incorrect fitting of the painting in its frame, weak frame structure or the wrong hanging fixtures.
