23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this pen and ink print, Paolo Farinati brings to life the timeless myth of Pandora offering the infamous box to Epimetheus. The delicate washes on paper add depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its ethereal quality. The composition centers around Pandora, a classical nude female figure exuding both beauty and intrigue. With her graceful posture and alluring gaze, she presents the box to Epimetheus, her lover and companion. As their eyes meet, one can almost sense his hesitation in accepting this mysterious gift. This artwork delves into Greek mythology's darkest tale - Pandora's Box. It symbolizes the release of horror and evil upon humanity as Pandora succumbs to her curiosity by opening it against Zeus' warning. Yet amidst this chaos lies a glimmer of hope; for within that fateful container also resides mankind's redemption from these sins. Farinati skillfully captures the essence of this mythological moment with intricate details that showcase his mastery over pen strokes. The contrast between light and shadow adds drama while emphasizing the significance of Pandora's decision. Displayed at Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, this piece invites viewers into an ancient world where gods toyed with mortals' lives. Its historical context reminds us how tales like these continue to resonate across time.
