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.

The Sirens, 1870-1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by John Macallan Swan that depicts the alluring and dangerous mythological creatures known as the Sirens. In Greek mythology, these enchanting beings possessed irresistible music and singing voices that lured unsuspecting sailors to their doom on the treacherous rocky coast of their island. Swan's post-impressionist style brings this mythical scene to life with vibrant colors and intricate brushwork. The composition showcases three beautiful mermaid-like figures emerging from the crashing waves, their nakedness symbolizing both vulnerability and temptation. With a backdrop of dramatic rocks and turbulent waters, the painting exudes an air of danger and mystery. The artist skillfully captures the essence of classical mythology in this romantic seascape, evoking a sense of enchantment and fantasy. Through his portrayal of these seductive spirits, Swan explores themes such as beauty, evil, and human fascination with forbidden desires. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, "The Sirens" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. This mesmerizing artwork serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient myths while also highlighting the power they hold over our imagination.
