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.

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 15th-century illuminated initial, found in Ms 343. Caesar, Opera, f. 1r. , is a true masterpiece of Italian artistry. The letter "G" shines brilliantly in gold against a backdrop of delicate white vine-stem decoration. Above the initial, a small butterfly hovers gracefully, adding an enchanting touch to the composition. Inhabiting this ornate letter is a playful putto, skillfully depicted playing a horn. The putto's cherubic features and mischievous expression bring life and joy to the scene. It is as if this celestial being has come alive from within the pages of this ancient manuscript. The artwork showcases remarkable attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship that was characteristic of Naples during the mid-15th century. Although anonymous, the illuminator behind this piece demonstrates great skill in creating such intricate designs. This print provides us with a glimpse into the rich history of manuscript illumination and serves as a testament to human creativity throughout time. Thanks to kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we are able to appreciate this rare work today. The presence of various butterflies adds further intrigue to this image - nymphalis urticae (peacock butterfly), aglais urticae (brimstone butterfly), and even red admirals can be spotted among them. These creatures symbolize transformation and beauty in nature. Overall, this stunning artwork captures both our imagination and admiration for centuries-old artistic techniques while reminding us of the timeless allure held by these delicate creatures that inhabit our world's natural landscapes.
