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 showcases the magnificent sculpture of "Apollo in his Chariot" from the Bassin d'Apollon, created between 1668 and 1671 by Jean Baptiste I Tuby. Located at the Château de Versailles in France, this masterpiece forms part of a larger sculptural program designed by Charles le Brun. The image depicts Apollo, the Greek sun god and symbol of enlightenment and artistic inspiration, driving a resplendent golden quadriga. The baroque-style sculpture exudes grandeur and power as it captures Apollo's allegorical representation as the Sun King himself, Louis XIV. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to an overall sense of opulence. From the gilded lead dolphins adorning the chariot to the majestic horses pulling it forward with strength and grace, each component adds to its splendor. A merman can be seen holding onto a conch shell nearby while other animals are scattered throughout, creating a lively scene that evokes images of an idyllic golden age. This group sculpture not only serves as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship but also reflects Louis XIV's desire for magnificence and his association with divine authority. It stands as a reminder of Versailles' rich history and its role in shaping French art during this period. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Europe's most iconic works of art.
