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
Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment," a powerful woodcut print published by Christoph Maurer in 1630, offers a striking depiction of the biblical scene of Christ revealing the secrets of the Last Judgment to his disciples. The seventeenth-century artwork, now held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a captivating example of the intricacy and detail that characterized the woodcut technique during this period. The image, with its bold lines and stark contrasts, conveys a sense of urgency and gravity. Christ, dressed in flowing robes and with an authoritative expression, addresses a group of men, who listen intently, their faces etched with a mixture of awe, fear, and curiosity. The scene is set against a backdrop of swirling clouds and turbulent seas, symbolizing the chaos and uncertainty of the Day of Judgment. Maurer's masterful use of negative space and intricate detailing adds depth and texture to the image, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ and the intense emotional reactions of his disciples. The woodcut's bold lines and stark contrasts also serve to emphasize the spiritual and otherworldly nature of the scene. This print is a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and provoke reflection, as well as to the skill and creativity of the artists who brought these scenes to life. The National Gallery of Art is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, allowing modern viewers to connect with the art and the stories of the past. Christoph Maurer's "Christ Tells His Disciples of the Last Judgment" is a powerful and evocative work of art that continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of religious art and the enduring power of the biblical narrative.
