17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This print showcases the exquisite "Painting of the Blue Monkey in a Rocky Landscape" fresco from the House of the Frescoes at Knossos. Created by Emile Gillieron in circa 1928, this artwork measures 60x83 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The painting transports us to ancient Crete, where vibrant blue hues dominate the scene. The rocky landscape serves as a dramatic backdrop for a mischievous monkey, its lively presence adding an element of playfulness to this otherwise serene setting. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the beauty and complexity of nature. As we delve into this early twentieth-century masterpiece, we are reminded of Greece's rich artistic heritage. This reconstruction offers a glimpse into ancient Greek culture and their fascination with animals as subjects for artistic expression. The intricate illustrations on display here highlight not only Gillieron's skill but also his dedication to preserving antiquity through art. This mural-like fresco draws us closer to understanding life during that time period while showcasing decorative elements that were highly valued by ancient Greeks. Through this photograph, Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate not only the talent behind this work but also its historical significance.
