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 "Harrowing of Hell or Christs descent into Limbo" engraving, created in 1512 by Albrecht Dürer. The image depicts a powerful scene from the Engraved Passion series, which was completed between 1507-12. The artwork portrays an archway leading to the depths of purgatory, where souls eagerly await their salvation. Standing at the forefront is Jesus Christ himself, armed with a staff and spear as he confronts menacing monsters guarding the gates of hell. Adam and Eve can be seen among the crowd of souls, symbolizing humanity's redemption through Christ's sacrifice. Dürer's masterful technique brings this Northern Renaissance masterpiece to life, capturing every intricate detail with precision and depth. The composition exudes a sense of tension and anticipation as Jesus prepares to liberate these trapped souls. The presence of a banner representing resurrection serves as a beacon of hope amidst this harrowing scene. Each figure in this hauntingly beautiful engraving conveys emotions ranging from fear to relief, emphasizing both human vulnerability and divine intervention. This remarkable print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into one artist's interpretation of biblical lore while appreciating Dürer's exceptional skill in capturing complex narratives through his engravings. It stands as a testament to his enduring legacy within German art history.
