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
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Democritus, or The Man with a Globe". Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez brings to life the enigmatic figure of Democritus, the laughing philosopher. With his piercing gaze and mischievous smile, Democritus holds a globe in one hand, symbolizing his deep understanding of the world and its mysteries. The composition is rich in symbolism as it showcases Democritus surrounded by books, representing his profound knowledge and intellectual curiosity. His outstretched arm points towards something beyond our view, perhaps hinting at his role as an astronomer exploring the celestial realm. Velazquez's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting every intricate detail of Democritus' expression. The artist captures not only the physical likeness but also conveys a sense of wisdom and contemplation that radiates from within. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France, this artwork invites viewers to ponder upon their own existence and place in the universe. It serves as a reminder that even amidst life's complexities and uncertainties, laughter can be found—a testament to Democritus' belief that humor is essential for navigating through life's challenges. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Velazquez's remarkable talent while immersing ourselves in the timeless wisdom embodied by Democritus—an eternal reminder that knowledge coupled with joy can illuminate our path forward.
