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 the exquisite painting "An Allegory of Reason overcoming Desire" by Adriaen van Stalbempt. Measuring 40x32 cm, this oil on panel masterpiece resides in a private collection and is beautifully captured by eRafael Valls Gallery in London. The image transports us to an opulent library where a fierce battle between reason and desire unfolds. A resolute female figure, representing intellect and knowledge, fiercely pursues a fleeing cupid who symbolizes desire. With spears in hand, she fearlessly chases him around the room as books line the shelves, signifying wisdom and enlightenment. In this allegorical scene, we witness the triumph of reason over temptation. The voluptuous allure of Aphrodite, Athena's strategic prowess, and Venus' seductive charm are all challenged by the power of intellectual pursuit. The decadent attack on Cupid reveals that true fulfillment lies not in indulging our desires but rather in cultivating our minds. Van Stalbempt's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this timeless theme of human struggle against fleeting passions. Through his meticulous attention to detail and rich colors, he invites us into a world where reason reigns supreme. This print from Bridgeman Images captures every nuance of Van Stalbempt's work with precision and elegance. It serves as a reminder that amidst worldly distractions, it is through intellect and knowledge that we can truly overcome our desires and find lasting fulfillment.
