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.

Created during the Renaissance period by Philippus Phinellas Metoposcopia, this artwork delves into the intriguing world of physiognomy. The focus of this image is undoubtedly the man's forehead, which holds an air of mystery and foreboding. The artist skillfully captures every detail with precision, allowing us to examine the lines and contours that supposedly reveal his destiny. As we gaze upon this face, we can't help but wonder about the story behind it. Metoposcopia was a renowned scholar who believed that one's physical features could provide insight into their character and fate. In this particular woodcut, he suggests that there is something fateful about this man's life – he is destined to meet a tragic end through drowning. The mid-17th century setting adds another layer of intrigue to this piece. It serves as a reminder of how people in earlier times sought meaning in every aspect of life, including facial features. This artwork invites us to ponder whether such beliefs hold any truth or if they are merely products of superstition. As we contemplate the profound implications embedded within "PHYSIOGNOMY" let us appreciate its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. Whether you believe in physiognomy or not, there is no denying the power it held over people's imaginations during
