31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 showcases Adriaen Collaert's exquisite design for a plate featuring the mythical figure of Arion riding a dolphin. Created in the 17th century, this artwork transports us to ancient Greece, where Greek mythology and literature thrived. In this intricate engraving, we see Arion gracefully perched atop a majestic dolphin as they glide through the sea. The medallion surrounding them is adorned with intricately detailed sea monsters, adding an element of mystique and wonder to the composition. Collaert's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. From the delicate lines that define each creature to the careful shading that brings depth and dimensionality, his skill as an artist shines through. The plate itself serves as both a canvas for artistic expression and a functional object for everyday use. Arion, known as a poet in Greek mythology, symbolizes creativity and inspiration. His nakedness represents vulnerability and purity of spirit while riding alongside these mythical creatures further emphasizes his connection with nature. As we admire this remarkable work of art from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring power of mythological tales and their ability to captivate our imaginations across time and cultures. Adriaen Collaert's Design for a Plate with Arion Riding a Dolphin in a Medallion Bordered by Sea Monsters invites us into an enchanting world where beauty meets storytelling.
