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.

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
In this 1530 painting titled "Aristotle and Phyllis" artist Lucas Cranach, the Elder transports us to a world of allegory and mythology. The fine art print showcases Aristotle, one of history's greatest philosophers, engaged in an unexpected encounter with Phyllis. Set against a backdrop of Renaissance Germany, the oil-on-wood masterpiece captures the essence of power dynamics and seduction. As we gaze upon the scene from a private collection, we witness Phyllis cunningly manipulating Aristotle into allowing her to ride him like a horse. This portrayal serves as an allegorical representation of how even the most intellectual minds can succumb to temptation and desire. Cranach's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate folds in their garments to their expressive facial features. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he skillfully conveys emotions ranging from surprise on Aristotle's face to confidence emanating from Phyllis. This artwork not only highlights Cranach's artistic prowess but also reminds us that great thinkers are not immune to human weaknesses. It invites viewers into a realm where mythology intertwines with philosophy, prompting contemplation about our own vulnerabilities and choices. As we admire this rare glimpse into Renaissance artistry, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging its place within a private collection – reminding us that such treasures exist beyond commercial use for all who seek inspiration through visual storytelling.
