23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 pastel print titled "Sleeping Medusa" created by the renowned Belgian artist Fernand Khnopff in 1896, we are transported into a mythical realm filled with mystery and enchantment. The delicate strokes of pastel on paper bring to life the mesmerizing figure of Medusa, known in Greek mythology as a gorgon with snakes for hair that could turn anyone who looked at her into stone. Here, however, we find Medusa in an unexpected state - asleep. Her serene expression and closed eyes offer a rare glimpse into her vulnerability and humanity. With her wings gently folded behind her back, she rests peacefully on what appears to be a bed of flowers. Khnopff's masterful use of color and texture adds depth to the composition, creating an ethereal atmosphere that surrounds the slumbering goddess. The soft hues of blues and greens evoke a sense of tranquility while also hinting at the otherworldly nature of Medusa's existence. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a testament to Khnopff's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both beauty and complexity within his subjects. "Sleeping Medusa" invites us to contemplate themes such as power, vulnerability, and transformation - reminding us that even mythical creatures have moments when they let their guard down.
