Can you put a canvas painting in a glass frame?
Technically, you can put a canvas painting in a glass frame. However, many experts advise against it. Paintings executed on canvas typically do not need the protection of glass, and a glass front on a frame can actually make it more difficult to admire the brushwork and fine details of a piece.
