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 black and white etching, titled "Female nude with Death as a skeleton" is a thought-provoking piece of art created by Belgian artist Armand Rassenfosse in 1897. The print measures 28x21.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. The image depicts a female figure standing amidst a woodland setting, her naked body exposed for all to see. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is the presence of Death personified as a skeleton, embracing the woman in an intimate kiss. This juxtaposition between life and death creates an unsettling yet mesmerizing visual narrative. Rassenfosse's inspiration for this work comes from Charles Baudelaire's renowned book Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil). The etching serves as an illustration for one of Baudelaire's poems that explores themes of mortality and the fragility of human existence. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading brings depth and texture to the composition, while also emphasizing the contrasting elements within it. The delicate portrayal of the female form against the starkness of Death adds to its symbolic power. This late nineteenth-century artwork continues to captivate viewers with its exploration of negative concepts such as mortality and vulnerability. It stands as a testament to Rassenfosse's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke strong emotions through his work.
