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 captures the essence of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "Apollo Pursuing Daphne". Painted between 1755 and 1760, this artwork delves into the realm of Greek mythology, depicting the intense chase between Apollo and Daphne. In Greek lore, Daphne was a devoted virgin who sought refuge from Apollo's advances by transforming herself into a laurel tree. Tiepolo's artistic brilliance shines through in this piece as he expertly portrays the emotions and actions of each character. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, emphasizing both Apollo's relentless pursuit and Daphne's desperate attempt to escape his lustful intentions. The presence of other deities such as Cupid adds depth to the narrative, highlighting how love can often lead to unexpected consequences. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within the painting serves a purpose. From Apollo wielding an oar symbolizing his power over water, to Daphne hiding amidst lush greenery representing her connection with nature - each component contributes to the overall story being told. As you gaze upon this print from Heritage Images' collection at National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, you are transported back in time to witness this mythological tale unfold before your eyes. It is a testament not only to Tiepolo's artistic prowess but also his ability to capture complex human emotions within a single frame. This print truly embodies the fusion of artistry and storytelling that makes it an enduring masterpiece
