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.

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
The Death of Abel," a captivating marble sculpture created by Italian artist Giovanni Dupré in 1853, is a poignant representation of one of the most tragic stories in the Old Testament. This masterpiece, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), invites viewers to reflect on the timeless themes of violence, jealousy, and the fragility of life. Depicted in semi-dress, Abel lies lifeless on the ground, his body contorted in a position of surrender. His brother Cain, the perpetrator of this heinous act, stands above him, a malevolent expression etched on his face. The contrast between the two figures is striking: Abel's serene and innocent demeanor contrasts sharply with Cain's menacing and defiant posture. This intricately carved relief, with its rich details and lifelike textures, transports us back to the 19th century and the European artistic tradition. The use of marble adds an air of grandeur and permanence to the scene, emphasizing the significance of this biblical tale. The Death of Abel is a powerful reminder of the consequences of envy and the importance of brotherly love. It also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of religious art and the role it plays in shaping our cultural heritage. This magnificent work of art continues to captivate and inspire visitors to LACMA, inviting them to ponder the complexities of human nature and the human condition. Giovanni Dupré's The Death of Abel is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the Old Testament. Its haunting beauty and intricate details make it a standout piece in any collection, and a poignant reminder of the power of art to transport us across time and space.
