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 Effects of Intemperance
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jan Havicksz. Steen, created between 1663 and 1665. Measuring at 76x106.5 cm, this thought-provoking artwork can be found in the National Gallery in London, UK. The painting depicts a scene filled with chaos and moral decay, serving as a cautionary tale against intemperance. In the foreground, we see a group of individuals indulging in excessive drinking and revelry. A pickpocket takes advantage of the drunkenness to steal from an unsuspecting victim while others sleep off their intoxication. Amidst this disarray are innocent children witnessing these vices firsthand. A young girl feeds her parrot while observing the debauchery around her, symbolizing how corruption infiltrates even the most vulnerable members of society. Steen's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout the composition; he includes various elements like a cat playing with spilled wine and a pig greedily devouring food scraps on the floor. This powerful image serves as a reminder that intemperance leads to societal degradation and personal ruin. It urges viewers to reflect on their own behaviors and consider the consequences of unchecked indulgence. "The Effects of Intemperance" not only showcases Steen's artistic prowess but also delivers an important moral message that resonates across time - reminding us all to strive for moderation and self-control in our lives.
