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
Basket of Wild Strawberries in a Landscape" is a captivating oil painting created by the renowned Spanish artist Luis Meléndez in the mid-late 18th century. This masterpiece, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich colors and textures of the natural world. The painting depicts a lively scene of a basket overflowing with ripe, red wild strawberries, carefully arranged against a backdrop of a rolling, green landscape. The basket, with its intricate woven design, sits atop a moss-covered rock, adding a sense of earthiness to the composition. In the distance, the sky is filled with a vibrant, colorful cloudscape, with clouds of various shapes and sizes adding a dynamic element to the otherwise still scene. Meléndez's use of oil on canvas technique brings the basket and its contents to life, with the strawberries appearing juicy and inviting, and the leaves and stems of the plants showing the intricacies of nature. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the strawberries are arranged in the basket, with some spilling over the edge, and the way the light filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. This painting is a testament to the beauty of the natural world and the simple pleasures of harvesting its bounty. It is a reminder of the rich agricultural heritage of the 18th century, and the lively, vibrant colors and textures of the outdoors. Whether viewed as a work of art or a glimpse into the past, "Basket of Wild Strawberries in a Landscape" is a true masterpiece that continues to inspire and delight. Luis Meléndez, also known as Luis Egidio Meléndez and Luis Menéndez de Ribera, was a Spanish painter known for his still lifes and genre scenes. His works are highly regarded for their attention to detail and realistic depictions of everyday life.
