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 showcases the exquisite fresco titled "Allegory of May: haymaking" by Francesco del Cossa, a renowned Italian artist from the 15th century. The artwork is housed in Palazzo Schifanoia, located in Ferrara, Italy. The image depicts a scene filled with vibrant colors and bustling activity. In this allegorical representation of May, we witness the laborious process of haymaking during harvest season. A group of workers can be seen diligently gathering sheaves of wheat and stacking them high on a wooden cart. Their hard work symbolizes the importance of agriculture and highlights the significance of manual labor during this time. Amidst the busy scene, a majestic tree stands tall as if overseeing the entire process. Its branches reach towards the sky, providing shade to those toiling beneath it. A donkey patiently waits nearby, ready to transport the harvested crops once they are gathered. Francesco del Cossa's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he captures not only the physical aspects but also infuses his work with an allegorical meaning that transcends time. This print allows us to appreciate his skillful craftsmanship while immersing ourselves in an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our connection to nature and how human effort intertwines with its cycles throughout history. It serves as both a celebration and homage to those who have dedicated their lives to cultivating our lands for sustenance and prosperity.
