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 poignant print titled "Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus" artist Gavin Hamilton captures a powerful moment from Greek mythology. Created between 1760 and 1763, the artwork depicts Achilles mourning the loss of his dear friend Patroclus during the Trojan War. Rendered in pen and ink with delicate washes on paper, Hamilton's skillful technique brings out the raw emotions that permeate this scene. The composition measures 13.7x21 cm and is housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The image portrays Achilles' profound grief as he mourns over Patroclus' lifeless body, slain by Hector. The tragedy unfolds against a backdrop of war, symbolizing both personal loss and larger themes of sacrifice and heroism. This print draws inspiration from Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad" where Achilles plays a central role. It encapsulates timeless themes such as friendship, loyalty, mortality, and honor that continue to resonate with audiences today. Hamilton's portrayal invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with loss while immersing themselves in ancient mythological narratives. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded of our shared human capacity for love and sorrow across time.
