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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Attic red-figure amphora, transporting us back to ancient Greece in the 6th century BC. The artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene of an elderly bearded male engaging with a youthful figure, evoking a sense of wisdom and mentorship. The intricate details on this pottery masterpiece are truly remarkable. The composition hints at a deeper narrative, possibly exploring themes of homoeroticism and athleticism prevalent in Greek culture during that era. The muscular physique of the youth suggests his involvement in athletic pursuits, while the presence of a discus further emphasizes this notion. It is fascinating to witness how art from centuries ago can still resonate with modern audiences by capturing timeless human experiences. Displayed proudly at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, UK, this artifact serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek civilization and its influence on art history.
