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
The captivating painting "Jupiter and Semele" by Bon de Boulogne transports viewers to a tragic moment in Greek mythology. This oil on canvas masterpiece, created in 1704, measures 147x90 cm and is housed at the Musee de Tesse in Le Mans, France. The scene depicts Semele, daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia, standing before Jupiter. Unbeknownst to her, Jupiter has taken on a disguise to visit her. However, his wife Juno intervenes and convinces Semele to ask Jupiter to reveal himself in all his divine glory. As he does so, the mortal Semele cannot bear the overwhelming radiance of his immortal form and is consumed by fire until she turns into ashes. Boulogne's skillful brushwork brings this tragic tale to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. The composition captures the doomed lovers' final moments together as they face their inevitable fate. This Baroque masterpiece explores themes of love, deception, mortality, and power through its portrayal of Zeus (Jupiter) as both a seductive lover and an almighty deity. The nudity of both figures adds vulnerability while emphasizing their contrasting natures – mortal versus immortal. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder provided by www. bridgemanimages. com , we are reminded of the timeless allure of classical mythology that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
