17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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.

This engraving, titled "Portrait of Sabbatai Zevi" offers a glimpse into the life and persona of an enigmatic figure from the 17th century. Sabbatai Zevi, born in Smyrna (now Izmir) in Asia Minor, was a Jewish leader who gained immense popularity during his time. The artist behind this masterpiece is unknown but belongs to the French School. The portrait portrays Zevi as a man of authority and wisdom. His piercing gaze captures the viewer's attention, revealing both strength and vulnerability within his eyes. With every line etched delicately on paper, this engraving brings forth an aura of mystery that surrounds this historical figure. Zevi's story is one filled with intrigue and controversy.

However, his journey took unexpected turns when he converted to Islam under pressure from Ottoman authorities. This print serves as a visual testament to Zevi's complex character and turbulent life trajectory. It invites us to ponder upon questions about faith, identity, and human nature itself. As we delve into this artwork by Bridgeman Art Library, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only the physical appearance of Sabbatai Zevi but also catching glimpses of his inner struggles through subtle details meticulously captured by the artist's hand.
