Aurora Borealis Galleon Northern Lights

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Arctic Phenomena" takes us back in time to the 17th century, when exploration and expedition were at their peak. The image showcases a majestic galleon ship sailing through icy waters, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Arctic landscape. The artist from the Netherlandish School skillfully captures the essence of this frozen world. Intriguingly, what steals our attention is not only the grandeur of the ship but also the ethereal display happening above it. The mesmerizing Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis illuminate the sky with vibrant hues of green and purple, creating a breathtaking spectacle that seems almost otherworldly. This print is an excerpt from Gerrit de Veer's Description of his Voyages, published in Amsterdam in 1600. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery during that era. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are reminded of both our fascination with distant lands and our desire to unravel nature's mysteries. The historical significance of this engraving cannot be overstated; it offers us a glimpse into past explorations while simultaneously evoking wonder for natural phenomena that continue to captivate us even now. This private collection piece has been preserved throughout centuries and allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its cultural importance.
