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.

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 occasion was none other than the marriage celebrations of Duke Cosimo III de Medici and Marguerite Louise d Orleans in 1661. The amphitheatre in Florence's Boboli Gardens served as the stage for this theatrical production, which brought together music, drama, and pyrotechnics to create an unforgettable spectacle. Giovanni Andrea Moniglia's libretta set the scene for a mesmerizing display that left the audience in awe. As depicted in this print, fire and pyrotechnics illuminated the stage, adding an element of excitement to an already enchanting performance. The audience watched with anticipation as Ercole's heroic journey unfolded before their eyes. The celebration extended beyond just the theater; it spilled out into the garden itself.

It allows us to glimpse into history and experience firsthand one of Florence's most extravagant celebrations.
