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 print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 13th-century Franco-Flemish School's bestiary manuscript. The artwork, titled "A Siren and a Centaur" transports us to a mythical realm where creatures of legend come alive. Created using tempera, pen and ink, gold leaf, and paint on parchment, this masterpiece measures 23.3x16.4 cm. The image depicts a fascinating fusion of two extraordinary beings: a siren and a centaur. The siren is portrayed as part woman and part bird, her ethereal beauty accentuated by delicate brushstrokes. Beside her stands the centaur - part man and part horse - exuding strength and grace in equal measure. As we delve into the symbolism behind these mythical creatures, we are reminded of their significance in ancient lore. The siren represents allure and enchantment with her seductive song that lured sailors to their demise. Meanwhile, the centaur embodies duality; his human intellect harmoniously coexisting with his equine nature. This illuminated miniature offers us an intriguing glimpse into medieval times when bestiaries served as compendiums of knowledge about both real and fantastical animals. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, it invites us to explore the wonders of nature while delving into the depths of mythology. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. As we admire this relic
