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.

The Seven Liberal Arts - A Timeless Allegory of Knowledge and Wisdom
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the masterpiece "The Seven Liberal Arts" by Giovanni dal Ponte, created around 1435. The oil on panel painting, measuring 56x155 cm, is housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this allegorical composition, Ponte skillfully depicts the seven liberal arts that were considered essential for a well-rounded education during the Renaissance period. Grammar, logic, rhetoric, geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and music are personified as elegant female figures adorned with laurel wreaths symbolizing intellectual achievement. The artist's attention to detail is evident through meticulously rendered objects such as books and scrolls representing knowledge acquisition. Additionally, a compass and set square signify precision in measurement and calculation – vital skills for understanding geometry. Ponte draws inspiration from Pythagoras' teachings by incorporating his mathematical principles into the artwork. This fusion of artistry and academia creates a harmonious blend that celebrates both aesthetic beauty and intellectual pursuits. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com (not affiliated with any company), we are reminded of the enduring significance of education throughout history. It serves as a timeless reminder that true wisdom encompasses not only factual knowledge but also critical thinking skills nurtured through these seven disciplines.
