31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 woodcut print titled "Centaurs Playing, 1520" takes us back to the early Renaissance era, immersing us in a mythical world where young centaurs engage in playful activities. Created as part of the renowned book "Dialogues of Creatures Moralysed" published in London during the same year, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of both human and equine characteristics. The scene depicts men and women with horse bodies engaged in various games and pastimes. The artist skillfully portrays their youthful energy and joy through dynamic poses and expressions. As we observe these half-human, half-horse creatures frolicking together, it sparks our imagination about a world where mythological beings coexist harmoniously. Woodcuts were a popular medium during this period for reproducing images due to their affordability and versatility. This particular woodcut showcases intricate details carved into the wooden block before being inked and pressed onto paper. The result is an exquisite black-and-white composition that highlights every line and contour. Through its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print transports us to a time when mythology intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with fantastical creatures throughout history while also showcasing the technical prowess of Renaissance artists. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection, "Centaurs Playing" invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty of nature's wonders and mankind's creative endeavors from centuries past.
