Anatomical Manual Trumpets Winged Dying
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.

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
The captivating engraving "Triumph of Death, 1779" by Jacques Gamelin takes us back to the 18th century, where art and science intertwined in a mesmerizing display. This print, part of the anatomy manual for artists titled Nouveau recueil daosteologie et de myologie (New collection of osteology and mycologya), showcases Gamelin's mastery in capturing both beauty and morbidity. In this intricate composition, death triumphs over life as skeletal figures dominate the battlefield. The scene is filled with war-torn bodies and fallen horses, symbolizing the fragility of existence amidst conflict. Trumpets blare victory while winged creatures hover above, adding an ethereal touch to this macabre spectacle. Gamelin dedicated his work to his patron Baron de Puymartin, whose support allowed him to delve into anatomical studies with artistic flair. Through this collaboration between art and science, Gamelin aimed to provide fellow artists with a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection today, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in unraveling the mysteries of our own mortality. It reminds us that even in death's triumph lies an undeniable beauty waiting to be explored through artistic expression.
