The Framing Department of the National Gallery, London, is responsible for finding the right frames for their pictures. 

Framing is an integral part of paintings. Frames not only affect the physical appearance of the artwork but also add value to the artwork and work as a tool to draw viewers into the painting and view it as a whole. 

The episode explores gilding techniques used by the gilder to apply the gold leaf onto the frame of the famous painting 'The Raising of Lazarus' by artist Sebastiano del Piombo.
