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 Antoine Caron's "Apotheosis of Semele" a mesmerizing oil on canvas masterpiece. The artwork, housed in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Saumur, France, depicts the tragic tale of Semele, daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia. In this scene, Jupiter appears to Semele disguised as someone else. However, Juno manipulates her into asking him to reveal his true form. As he unveils his immortal radiance in all its splendor, poor Semele is unable to withstand such divine brilliance and is consumed by it until she turns into ashes. The painting captures the essence of this doomed love affair between mortal and god with great intensity. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability and beauty of Semele's nude figure against a backdrop that exudes both tragedy and grandeur. Caron's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate altar where their fateful encounter takes place to the sorrowful expressions on their faces. This copy serves as a poignant reminder of love's fragility and how even gods cannot escape its consequences. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, let yourself be transported back in time to witness this heart-wrenching moment frozen forever on canvas. It serves as a testament to Caron's talent for capturing human emotions within mythological narratives while reminding us that even amidst tragedy, art can find eternal beauty.
