17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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 the renowned Greek philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, who lived between 580-500 B. C. Known for his groundbreaking discoveries in various fields, Pythagoras made a significant contribution to music theory. The woodcut image is taken from Franchinus Gaffurius' "Theorica Musicae" published in Milan, Italy in 1492. Pythagoras's revolutionary insight into the relationship between musical intervals and arithmetical ratios of string lengths under equal tension is depicted here. This discovery forever changed our understanding of musicology and laid the foundation for further exploration in this field. In this intriguing portrayal, Pythagoras can be seen playing an instrument while deeply engrossed in his research. His long beard symbolizes wisdom and intelligence that characterized ancient scholars during the Iron Age. Dressed as an Italian musician of the time, he represents a fusion of Hellenic Republic culture with contemporary Italian influences. This woodcut not only captures Pythagoras's immense intellectual prowess but also serves as a reminder of how knowledge transcends time and place. It pays homage to one of history's most influential figures whose theories continue to shape our understanding of mathematics, philosophy, and music today.
