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 black-figure panel-amphora print showcases an extraordinary moment in Greek mythology. The artwork, attributed to the Medea Group and dating back to 530-20 BC, depicts the legendary hero Heracles engaged in a fierce battle with a centaur. Measuring 34x22.1 cm, this terracotta masterpiece is housed at the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In this scene, Heracles demonstrates his unparalleled strength as he fearlessly attacks the formidable centaur. The intricate details of the vessel's black figure painting bring this mythological encounter to life, capturing every intense moment of their clash. This ancient artifact serves as a testament to both Greek artistic mastery and their rich mythological tradition. The half-man, half-horse creature known as a centaur symbolizes untamed nature and primal instincts within Greek mythology. By triumphing over such a powerful opponent, Heracles embodies not only physical prowess but also represents humanity's ability to conquer chaos through courage and determination. This image transports viewers into an era where gods and heroes were revered for their exceptional abilities and celebrated for their triumphs over mythical creatures. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with classical legends that continue to inspire generations even today.
