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.

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 etching captures the intense Siege of Leuven during the 30 Years War, a significant conflict that shaped European history. The Dutch and French armies are depicted in this print, as they join forces to confront the Spanish occupation of Leuven. The artwork, created by an anonymous artist from the Dutch School in the 17th century, measures 50.7x41 cm and is housed at the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The detailed composition showcases not only the military aspects of this historic event but also provides insight into the fortified geography and topography of Leuven. It offers a glimpse into a town embroiled in battle, with its landscape transformed by war. Intriguingly, amidst all this chaos stands Minerva, goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare. Her presence symbolizes both intellectual prowess and military might as she watches over the unfolding events. This etching serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on one chapter of Europe's tumultuous past. It depicts not only a fierce battle but also highlights key elements such as coats of arms and maps that were instrumental during these times. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again how art can provide us with glimpses into our shared history while evoking emotions tied to human struggle and resilience against adversity.
