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 oil on canvas print, titled "Achilles Dragging the Body of Hector around the Walls of Troy" by Donato Creti, transports us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the Trojan War, as Achilles, the legendary Greek hero and son of King Priam, triumphantly drags Hector's lifeless body around the walls of Troy. The painting captures both the raw power and tragic consequences of war. Achilles stands tall atop his chariot, adorned in gleaming armor with a spear in hand. His face reveals a mix of determination and vengeance as he parades his fallen foe before him. The defeated soldiers look on helplessly while their beloved prince is humiliated. Creti's masterful brushwork brings this epic tale to life, evoking emotions ranging from awe to sorrow. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, emphasizing Achilles' dominance over his vanquished enemy. As we gaze upon this work at Musee Massey in Tarbes, France, we are reminded of Homer's immortal words that recount these events in "The Iliad". This painting serves as a testament to human ambition and pride but also reminds us of the devastating toll it takes on lives lost. In this print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com. , Creti invites us to reflect upon themes such as heroism, mortality, and the futility of war itself – timeless subjects that continue to resonate with
