Grotesque Macabre Mouth Open Purification Realism
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
This print captures a hauntingly realistic detail of "The Body of the Dead Christ" by Hans Holbein the Younger. Painted in 1521, this tempera on limewood masterpiece is housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. In this particular fragment, we are drawn to the head of Christ, which is depicted with remarkable precision and attention to detail. The artist's skillful use of color and texture brings forth an eerie sense of macabre realism. With eyes open and mouth agape, the viewer cannot help but feel a profound sense of sorrow and contemplation. Holbein's portrayal emphasizes the wounds inflicted upon Christ's body, enhancing its grotesque nature. Yet amidst this depiction of suffering lies a profound message of purification and redemption. The composition exudes a somber atmosphere that invites viewers to reflect upon their own mortality and contemplate themes such as life's transience and spiritual salvation. "The Body of the Dead Christ" showcases Holbein's mastery in capturing human emotion through his brushstrokes. This 16th-century artwork continues to captivate audiences with its powerful imagery that transcends time. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail up close while preserving the historical significance behind Holbein's iconic work.
