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 woodcut print, titled "St. Basil the Great" is a remarkable illustration from The Asketikon, created in 1594 by Russian artist Pyotr Mstislavets. The artwork showcases St. Basil of Caesarea, also known as Saint Basil the Great, who was an influential Greek bishop in Cappadocia during the fourth century. The image portrays St. Basil with great reverence and spiritual aura, capturing his devout nature and symbolic journey towards enlightenment. As one of the most revered figures in Orthodox Christianity, St. Basil's presence exudes a sense of piety and devotion that resonates through this intricate woodcut. Mstislavets' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his carving tool, bringing out the essence of St. Basil's character and significance within religious traditions. The iconography used here represents not only the saint himself but also reflects centuries-old Russian folk traditions intertwined with Byzantine symbolism. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), this print transports viewers back to a time when spirituality played a central role in people's lives. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring power and influence that icons hold within Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Preserved within private collections today, this woodcut print stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a window into Russia's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection to religious rituals and traditions throughout history.
