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 intense musical duel between Apollo and Marsyas, depicted in Pietro Antonio Novelli's oil on canvas masterpiece. The grandeur of this artwork, measuring 154x198 cm, can be admired at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Caen, France. In this scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 6), we witness a contest between two Greek gods. Apollo, the god of music and arts, skillfully plays his violin with grace and precision. His divine talent is evident as he effortlessly creates enchanting melodies that fill the air. On the other side stands Marsyas, a satyr who dares to challenge Apollo's supremacy by playing his flute with equal passion. The intensity of their rivalry is palpable as they engage in a fierce battle of musical prowess. However, this competition has dire consequences for poor Marsyas. As history tells us, he ultimately faces punishment for daring to challenge a god. This dramatic moment captured by Novelli serves as a reminder of both the power and cruelty that can arise from such contests among mortals and immortals alike. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness this legendary duel firsthand – an awe-inspiring testament to human ambition and divine intervention in artistry.
