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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 a remarkable portrait of Henry II of England, taken from the Historia Anglorum, Chronica majora. Created by the talented artist Matthew Paris in the 13th century, this exquisite piece can now be found in the prestigious collection of the British Library. Henry II, also known as Henry Curtmantle or Henry FitzEmpress, was a significant figure in English history. As one of the most powerful monarchs during his reign from 1154 to 1189, he played a crucial role in shaping medieval England. This stunning watercolour on parchment captures his regal presence and commanding gaze with incredible detail. The artwork provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to both Paris' artistic skill and Henry II's enduring legacy. The rich colors and intricate brushstrokes bring life to this historical figure who left an indelible mark on English history.

This print allows us to connect with history through art and appreciate its significance in shaping our present reality. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, great leaders like Henry II continue to inspire awe and fascination through their portraits captured by talented artists like Matthew Paris.
