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 exquisite oil on canvas painting by the Flemish artist Erasmus de Bie captures the lively and festive atmosphere of Carnival celebrations on the Meir in Antwerp during the year 1670. The Meir, a prominent street in the city, is adorned with an array of elaborate and imaginative floats, each one more extravagant than the next. The floats, which are pulled by horses or oxen, are intricately decorated with colorful fabrics, flowers, and various other ornaments. The figures depicted on the floats, dressed in elaborate costumes and masks, add to the whimsical and playful spirit of the occasion. The painting masterfully conveys the joy and merriment of the Shrove Tuesday festivities, which were an important tradition in Flanders during the Baroque period. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection of the Musee de Flandre in Cassel, and serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Antwerp during the 17th century. Erasmus de Bie, a talented artist of the time, expertly captures the essence of the Carnival celebrations, making this painting a true gem of Flemish genre painting.
