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 captures the dramatic moment of Prometheus being nailed to the rock by Hephaestus, Kratos, and Bia. Taken from Aeschylus' Promethee Enchaîné, published in 1941, this pochoir print by François-Louis Schmied is a true masterpiece. In Greek mythology, Zeus ordered Prometheus to be punished for stealing fire back from the gods and giving it to humanity. As a consequence, he was condemned to eternal suffering on Mount Caucasus. Every day an eagle would tear out his liver, only for it to regenerate overnight. The image depicts the sheer agony and despair etched across Prometheus' face as he endures this excruciating torment. The beam of light shining down upon him adds an ethereal quality that emphasizes both his divine origins and his profound sacrifice for mankind. Hephaestus stands tall with hammer in hand, meticulously nailing Prometheus to the unforgiving rock. Kratos and Bia flank him with unwavering determination - their presence symbolizing the unyielding power of Zeus' command. The majestic mountains towering in the background serve as a stark reminder of Prometheus' isolation and immobility while emphasizing the grandeur of this mythological scene. This artwork is not just a visual representation but also serves as a powerful metaphor for human resilience and defiance against oppressive forces. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength within ourselves to endure unimaginable pain for what we
