17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 vibrant atmosphere of the Ascension Day Festival in Venice, which took place in 1765 or 1766. Created by the renowned artist Canaletto, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing architectural details and bustling city scenes. The image depicts a scene along the Grand Canal, where numerous boats and gondolas navigate through the crowded waterway. The iconic Bucintoro galley ship stands out amidst the sea of blue, symbolizing Venice's maritime power during that era. The intricate buildings lining the canal exude elegance and grandeur, showcasing Canaletto's meticulous attention to detail. As one gazes at this artwork, they are transported back to a time when Christianity played a significant role in Venetian culture. The festival brings together people from all walks of life as they celebrate Ascension Day with fervor and joy. Canaletto's masterful use of pen and ink drawing technique adds depth and texture to this etching. The shades of gray wash over traces of graphite create a sense of movement within the composition while touches of white gouache highlight certain elements, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print is not just an exquisite piece but also serves as a testament to Canaletto's enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated artists.
