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. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
This print showcases Eustache Le Sueur's masterpiece, "Descent from the Cross" painted around 1651. The oil on canvas painting measures an impressive diameter of 134 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Le Sueur's depiction of this poignant biblical scene captures the solemnity and grief surrounding Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The central focus lies on the lifeless body of Jesus being tenderly lowered from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. The Virgin Mary, overcome with sorrow, gazes upon her son with a heart-wrenching expression as Mary Magdalene kneels at his feet, gently kissing them. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of mourning and passion through his meticulous brushwork and use of light and shadow. Each figure exudes raw emotion as they grapple with their loss and pay homage to their beloved savior. Le Sueur's "Descent from the Cross" serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, faith, and redemption. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers centuries later with its profound portrayal of human vulnerability in the face of tragedy.
