17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 coloured engraving, titled "Ancient Greece: Shrine to Apollo: The Oracle at Delphi, 1866" takes us back in time to the mystical world of ancient Greece. Created by Heinrich Leutemann in the 19th century, this piece is part of his renowned series "Pictures from Antiquity". The image transports us to the sacred shrine dedicated to Apollo at Delphi, where the famous Oracle resided. In this scene, we witness a daily life moment as priests and a woman gather around a ceramic vessel emitting smoke. This ritualistic act symbolizes their connection with the divine and their ability to receive predictions and prophecies. Leutemann's attention to detail brings this historical setting alive with vibrant colours that enhance our understanding of ancient Greek culture. From the intricate engravings on the crown worn by one of the priests to every fold in their garments, each element tells a story about everyday life during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how significant religion was in ancient Greece and how people sought guidance from oracles like those at Delphi. It serves as an intriguing glimpse into an age when divination played a crucial role in decision-making and shaping society. Stefano Bianchetti's expertise captures Leutemann's work beautifully through his careful reproduction of this engraving. Through its vivid colours and meticulous details, it allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously.
