23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 essence of intellectual discourse in 18th century France. The subject is Bernard de Fontenelle, a renowned mathematician and writer, depicted in a serene garden setting. Seated on a stone bench, surrounded by a group of people engaged in animated discussion, Fontenelle exudes an air of wisdom and authority. The artist, Bernard Picart, skillfully portrays the scene with intricate engraving techniques. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the pen - from the delicate lettering on the tablet held by one of the cherubic figures to the flowing robes worn by Fontenelle himself. The composition also includes religious symbolism as an angelic putto hovers above Fontenelle's head. This subtle nod to spirituality reflects his reputation as a philosopher who explored both scientific and theological concepts. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when intellectual pursuits were highly valued. The image invites us to join these esteemed individuals in their lively conversation about mathematics, philosophy, and religion. Jean-Claude Carriere's collection has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture moments that transcend time and place.
