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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a dramatic moment at sea as a ship battles against the forces of nature. Painted by Willem van de Velde II, a renowned Dutch marine painter, "A Ship on the High Seas caught by a Squall, known as the Gust" showcases his exceptional talent in depicting maritime scenes. In this artwork, Van de Velde masterfully portrays the intensity of a squall engulfing the ship. The dark and turbulent clouds loom overhead while powerful gusts of wind whip up towering waves that threaten to capsize the vessel. The ship's crew can be seen desperately clinging onto ropes and rigging, struggling to maintain control amidst chaos. Van de Velde's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate rigging and billowing sails to each crashing wave, he brings life and movement to this perilous scene. The use of light adds depth and drama, with rays breaking through gaps in the stormy sky illuminating parts of the ship. This painting not only showcases Van de Velde's technical skill but also reflects his deep understanding and appreciation for seafaring life. It serves as an enduring testament to his contribution to marine art during the 17th century. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this print invites viewers into an immersive experience where they can almost feel themselves being tossed about on those treacherous high seas.
