Italian Florentine-style decorative frames became highly popular from the 1950s through the 1970s. Religious prints featuring praying children were common devotional pieces in Catholic homes, while convex bubble glass was used to add visual depth and protect the artwork. Authentic Italian-made examples remain collectible decorative pieces.
