31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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
This print captures the eerie beauty of the gargoyles perched on the balustrade of the Grande Galerie, a replica of a 12th-century original by Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. Located at Notre Dame in Paris, France, these stone creatures have become iconic symbols of Gothic architecture. Each gargoyle seems to come alive as they watch over the bustling city below, their piercing eyes filled with an otherworldly intensity. With their grotesque features and horned heads, they exude an aura of both evil and mystery. These monstrous figures stand tall against the backdrop of Notre Dame's grandeur, reminding us that even in sacred spaces darkness can lurk. The photographer skillfully captures every intricate detail - from the texture of weathered stone to each menacing expression etched onto these guardians' faces. Their presence is both intimidating and fascinating; one cannot help but be drawn into their world. These gargoyles serve as a reminder that even within art there exists duality – beauty intertwined with darkness. They embody our fascination with all things mysterious and unknown. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand Viollet-le-Duc's masterful craftsmanship and his ability to bring forth such ethereal beings from mere stone. This image is not just a snapshot; it is a testament to human creativity and imagination throughout history. It invites us to contemplate our own existence while marveling at these ancient sentinels who continue
