FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

The Death of Archimedes
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Domenico Antonio Vaccaro captures a poignant moment in history, immortalizing the tragic end of one of the greatest minds of ancient Greece. In this oil on panel print, we witness the final moments of Archimedes, the renowned mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. Surrounding Archimedes are various scientific instruments such as compasses and clocks that represent his profound contributions to mathematics and science. A book lies open nearby, signifying his thirst for knowledge and dedication to learning. Vaccaro skillfully portrays Archimedes as a wise man with a contemplative expression on his face. The artist pays homage to classical Greek art by depicting him in traditional attire while capturing the essence of an intellectual genius lost too soon. This painting serves as a reminder not only of Archimedes' remarkable achievements but also of the fragility of human life and our collective responsibility to preserve knowledge for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the enduring impact that great thinkers have had on society throughout history. As we gaze upon this artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded that even though time may claim brilliant minds like Archimedes', their legacy lives on through their inventions and ideas that continue to shape our world today.
