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 print showcases Jan Sanders van Hemessen's masterpiece, "The Mocking of Christ" housed in the Musee de la Chartreuse in Douai, France. Painted with oil on panel during the 16th century, this artwork depicts a poignant scene from Jesus' passion and suffering. In this composition, we witness Christ being subjected to derision and taunting by a group of male figures. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of their mockery as they crown him with thorns, an act symbolizing both physical pain and humiliation. Their ugly gestures and expressions reveal their cruel intentions towards Jesus. "The Mocking of Christ" is not just a religious painting; it also serves as a powerful commentary on human nature. It reminds us how easily people can succumb to cruelty and ridicule when faced with someone who challenges societal norms or beliefs. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Hemessen creates a dramatic atmosphere that heightens the emotional impact of the scene. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of the original artwork while contemplating its profound message. As we gaze upon this image captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of our own capacity for compassion or callousness. It prompts us to reflect on how we treat others who may be different from us or challenge our preconceived notions. Ultimately, "The Mocking of Christ" invites us to examine our actions and strive for empathy in an often harsh world.
