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 Ploughman" we are transported back to the Renaissance era, where art served as a powerful medium for conveying profound messages. Created in 1547 by an anonymous French artist after Hans Holbein the Younger's original work from 1538, this piece is rich in symbolism and allegory. The image depicts a haunting scene set against an idyllic rural backdrop. A skeletal figure personifying Death stands alongside a plowman in a field, surrounded by lush farmland. The farmer represents hardworking peasants of medieval times who relied on agriculture for their livelihoods. Through this macabre dance between life and death, the artist reminds us of our mortality and the inevitable cycle of life. Death appears indifferent yet omnipresent, reminding us that no one can escape its grasp - not even those toiling away at their daily tasks. This woodcut serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by people during that period: plague outbreaks were rampant, claiming countless lives while leaving survivors with little choice but to carry on with their laborious work. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, "DANCE OF DEATH" invites viewers to reflect upon the fragility of existence and appreciate both life's beauty and fleeting nature. It is a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to provoke contemplation centuries later.
