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 titled "DANCE OF DEATH, 1538. Death and the Gamblers" takes us back to the Renaissance era, where artist Hans Holbein the Younger skillfully depicted an allegory of life's fragility. In this woodcut from his renowned series Dance of Death, published in 1538, we witness a haunting scene that personifies death itself. The image showcases a group of men engaged in a game of chance with their lives at stake. The grim reaper stands among them, reminding us all that no matter how skilled or fortunate one may be in gambling or any other pursuit, death is an inevitable equalizer. This macabre dance serves as a powerful reminder of our mortality and the risks we take throughout our existence. Holbein's intricate details bring out the medieval essence perfectly - from the skeletal figure representing death to each gambler's expressions revealing both anticipation and trepidation. The woodcut technique adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing its overall impact. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, it evokes contemplation about life's uncertainties and encourages us to reflect on our choices carefully. It reminds us that while entertainment can provide temporary respite from reality, ultimately we are all mere victims caught in death's relentless grip.
