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
In this woodcut print titled "DANCE OF DEATH, 1538. Death and the Abbot" we are transported back to the Renaissance era where allegorical representations were used to convey profound messages. Created by a French artist in 1547, inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger's original work from 1538, this piece depicts an encounter between Death and an Abbot. The scene unfolds with a sense of eerie beauty as Death, personified as a skeletal figure clad in a flowing black cloak, confronts the Abbot who is adorned in his cassock and mitre. The Abbot's expression reveals both fear and resignation as he realizes that no one can escape Death's embrace. This woodcut serves as a reminder of our mortality and the inevitability of death itself. It symbolizes how even those who hold positions of power or authority cannot evade their ultimate fate. The Dance of Death theme was prevalent during medieval times when plagues ravaged Europe, serving as a stark reminder of life's fragility. Through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this woodcut captures the essence of German Renaissance artistry while conveying its somber message. It stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical artifact that reflects upon themes still relevant today. As we gaze at this print from Granger Art on Demand collection, we are reminded to contemplate our own mortality and appreciate each precious moment we have in this dance called life.
