17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Mantua, Italy. The focal point of the image is none other than the magnificent dome of the Church of Sant'Andrea, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of medieval architecture. The dome itself is a true marvel, showcasing intricate Gothic details that speak volumes about the craftsmanship and artistry of its creators. Its elegant curves are complemented by the nearby Torre della Gabbia, a tower that adds an extra touch of grandeur to this historic scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from 1955, our eyes are drawn to various elements within the frame. From column fragments to decorative sections, each building element tells a story about centuries past. The pilaster strip guides our gaze upwards towards the lantern-topped drum and stained glass windows that allow slivers of light to dance across the interior. Amidst this architectural splendor lies a watch or instrument for measuring time – an intriguing detail that reminds us how precious every passing moment was during those ancient times. A single light window further emphasizes this concept as it illuminates both history and tradition. This photograph not only captures physical structures but also encapsulates centuries worth of European history within its frame. It serves as a visual testament to human ingenuity throughout both the first and second millenniums AD. Taken by Villani Achille under Alinari's lens, this artwork transcends mere documentation; it becomes an invitation for viewers like us to immerse ourselves in Mantua's rich cultural heritage while appreciating its timeless beauty.
