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 transports us back to the year 1858, capturing a serene moment in history. Painted by Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix, "Greek Cavalry Men Resting in Forest" depicts a group of weary Greek soldiers taking respite amidst nature's embrace. The oil on fabric artwork measures 50.4x61.5 cm and is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. During the early 19th century, Greece was engaged in a fierce struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire. This fight resonated deeply with French artists like Delacroix who saw parallels between this conflict and their own revolution three decades earlier. To them, the Greek war represented not only a battle for freedom but also the preservation of Western democracy and Christian civilization. In this painting, we witness these brave cavalry men momentarily pausing their military duties to find solace within a forest sanctuary. Their horses stand nearby as loyal companions while they recharge their spirits amidst nature's tranquility. The artist skillfully captures both the exhaustion etched on their faces and the strength that lies within them. Delacroix's brushstrokes bring life to every detail - from each blade of grass beneath their feet to every leaf rustling overhead - creating an immersive experience for viewers today. This timeless masterpiece serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience during times of strife and celebrates those who fought valiantly for freedom throughout history.
