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.

METABUS AND CAMILLA - A Desperate Escape and Divine Appeal
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century French line engraving, based on Leon Cogniet's renowned painting from 1817, depicts a gripping moment in ancient Roman history. Metabus, once a powerful king but now deposed by the Volsci, is seen fleeing with his infant daughter Camilla. In their desperate bid for survival, Metabus turns to the goddess Diana for help. The scene unfolds against a dramatic backdrop of stormy skies and crashing waves along the Italian coastline. Metabus clutches his spear tightly as he carries little Camilla in his arms. The intensity of their escape is palpable as they navigate through rugged rocks and treacherous river currents. Camilla herself appears both vulnerable and resilient; her nakedness symbolizing innocence amidst chaos. As her father appeals to Diana for protection, one can almost feel the weight of their uncertain future hanging in the air. Leon Cogniet's masterful brushstrokes have been skillfully translated into this exquisite line engraving - every detail capturing the raw emotions of this pivotal moment in history. The artist's attention to facial expressions and body language adds depth to each character portrayed. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even kings are not immune to overthrow or displacement. It invites us to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, parental love, divine intervention, and resilience in times of adversity – timeless concepts that continue to resonate today.
