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 Veteran, 1870
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Marie Francois Firmin-Girard is a poignant depiction of a man burdened by the weight of his past. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, the artist captures the essence of sadness and melancholy that permeates through every brushstroke. Set against a backdrop of winter, with snow falling gently from the sky, the veteran stands alone against a weathered wall. His weather-beaten face tells stories of battles fought and hardships endured. The colors used in this painting are muted yet evocative, reflecting the somber mood that engulfs both the subject and the viewer. The man's posture exudes weariness as he gazes into nothingness. It is as if he carries not only physical scars but also emotional wounds that have never fully healed. The artist skillfully portrays his unhappiness and forlorn state through subtle details such as furrowed brows and downturned lips. This artwork transports us to a time when poverty was rampant, especially among those who had sacrificed their youth for their country's cause. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless veterans throughout history. As we contemplate "The Veteran" we cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of empathy towards this solitary figure. We are reminded that behind every war lies human suffering and loss. Displayed at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its powerful portrayal of human emotion amidst hardship. Through Firmin-Girard's masterful technique and attention to detail, "The Veteran" becomes more than just an image; it becomes an embodiment of universal feelings experienced by all who have known sorrow or witnessed tragedy. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to bring home a piece imbued with historical significance and emotional depth – reminding us never to forget those who have borne witness to our shared history
