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.

The Calumny of Apelles
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by Sandro Botticelli that depicts an allegorical scene from ancient Greece. This tempera on wood print, captured beautifully by Stefano Baldini, showcases the artist's incredible attention to detail and skillful use of color. In this artwork, we are transported to a world where lies and deceit prevail. The central figure, Apelles, is falsely accused and dragged before a judge who presides over his punishment. Surrounding him are various characters representing different aspects of calumny - doubt, communication, violence, and even beggary. Botticelli's composition is filled with symbolism and hidden messages. The donkey's cap worn by one character signifies foolishness while the statue in the background represents truth being concealed. The woman with flowing hair embodies seduction as she whispers into the ear of another figure. The artist's mastery in capturing human emotions is evident through gestures and facial expressions displayed throughout the painting. From despair to anger to resignation, each individual conveys their role in perpetuating falsehoods or seeking justice. "The Calumny of Apelles" serves as a reminder of the timeless themes explored within art - truth versus lies, justice versus injustice. It stands as a testament to Botticelli's genius during the Renaissance period and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details centuries later at Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence.
