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 print showcases an exquisite illuminated manuscript from the late 15th century, known as "THREE LIVING & THREE DEAD". Created by the talented French artist Jean Fouquet in 1475, this piece is a remarkable example of medieval manuscript illumination. The artwork depicts a powerful allegory that was commonly found in books of hours during that era. Three elegantly dressed living figures are confronted by three decaying corpses, reminding them of their own mortality and the transient nature of life. This personification of death serves as a poignant reminder to reflect on one's actions and lead a virtuous life. Fouquet's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his handwriting, which adds depth and richness to the overall composition. The vibrant colors used for both the living and dead figures create a striking contrast, emphasizing the stark juxtaposition between life and death. As we admire this masterpiece today, it transports us back to the Renaissance period when such illuminated manuscripts were highly valued for their religious significance and artistic beauty. This particular work not only reflects Christianity but also represents an important cultural artifact from French history. Granger Art on Demand has expertly captured this iconic piece through high-quality printing techniques, allowing art enthusiasts like us to appreciate its intricate details up close. Whether displayed at home or in professional settings, this print will undoubtedly spark conversations about medieval literature, symbolism, and our shared human experience across time.
