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.

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
In this print of "St. Martin and the Beggar" we are transported back to 1836, where German artist Alfred Rethel skillfully captures a moment of profound generosity and compassion. The oil on canvas painting measures 28.5x23.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The focal point of the artwork is St. Martin himself, depicted as a knight on horseback wearing armor that signifies his military background. However, it is not his warrior status that defines him in this scene; rather, it is his act of kindness towards a beggar sitting at his feet. With an outstretched arm, St. Martin gracefully offers his cloak to shelter the destitute man from the elements. This selfless gesture embodies themes of charity and empathy that resonate throughout history. Rethel's composition transports us into a fantasy world reminiscent of fairy tales with its castle backdrop and dreamlike atmosphere. It invites us to reflect upon our own capacity for kindness amidst adversity. This powerful image serves as a reminder that acts of compassion can transcend societal boundaries and touch even those who may be considered mad or insane by conventional standards. As we admire this timeless masterpiece captured by www. bridgemanart. com, let us be inspired by St. Martin's example to extend our hand in generosity towards others without hesitation or judgment – for true nobility lies not only in strength but also in benevolence.
