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.

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 a mesmerizing detail of a late 13th-century mosaic from the cupola of the Baptistry in Florence, Italy. Titled "Hell and Damnation" this artwork transports us to an era where medieval art was used as a powerful tool to depict religious narratives. The intricate mosaic captures the essence of damnation with its vivid portrayal of evil and ugliness. Satan himself takes center stage, his menacing presence exuding malevolence. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, as every contour and expression on the faces of the damned reflects their torment and despair. Located on the exterior walls of the Baptistry, this masterpiece serves as a reminder for all who enter or pass by. It symbolizes both fear and redemption, urging viewers to contemplate their actions in life and strive towards salvation. The use of mosaics during this period was not only an artistic choice but also served practical purposes. These colorful pieces were resistant to weathering, making them ideal for outdoor installations like this one in Florence. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time - witnessing an awe-inspiring piece that continues to captivate audiences centuries later. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it represents a crucial moment in Italian art history when religion played a central role in shaping society's beliefs and values.
