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
In this painting titled "Christ blessing the Children" created in 1652 by Dutch artist Nicolaes Maes, we are transported to a scene of pure innocence and divine grace. The artwork, housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London, beautifully captures a significant moment from the New Testament. Maes skillfully depicts Jesus Christ surrounded by a group of children, his gentle hands outstretched as he imparts his blessings upon them. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing life and emotion to each child's face. Their expressions range from awe and wonder to joyous anticipation as they receive the holy touch of their Savior. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's love for all humanity, particularly for those who possess childlike faith. It symbolizes the importance of nurturing and cherishing our own inner child while embracing Christian values. Set against a richly textured background typical of Baroque art, Maes' masterpiece showcases his mastery over oil on canvas technique. Through vibrant colors and exquisite composition, he transports us back in time to witness this profound encounter between Jesus and innocent souls. "Christ blessing the Children" stands not only as an exceptional example of fine art but also as an enduring testament to Christianity's core teachings on love, compassion, and inclusivity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece today, it continues to inspire contemplation about our own spiritual journey and reminds us that even amidst life's complexities, there is always room for hope and divine
