23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The captivating print titled "URANIA & ASTRONOMERS, 1660" takes us back to a significant moment in history. In this image, we witness the gathering of some of the greatest minds that have shaped our understanding of the universe. Tycho Brahe, Ptolemy, St. Augustine, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, and Andreas Cellarius encircle Urania, the Muse of Astronomy. This frontispiece is extracted from Cellarius Atlas Coelestis seu Harmonia Macrocosmica published in 1660 in Amsterdam. It serves as a visual representation of an era marked by scientific revolution and groundbreaking discoveries. Each figure portrayed holds immense importance within their respective fields. Tycho Brahe's meticulous observations laid the groundwork for future astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo to challenge traditional Ptolemaic models. Ptolemy's geocentric theory dominated astronomical thought until Copernicus proposed his heliocentric model which was further supported by Galileo's telescopic observations. St. Augustine represents a bridge between ancient philosophy and Christian theology with his contemplation on cosmology and faith. This print not only captures these influential figures but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our place in the cosmos. It serves as a reminder that progress is built upon collaboration and standing on the shoulders of giants who came before us. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry from Granger Art on
