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 the ancient Greek mythological hero, Heracles, engaged in a fierce battle against the formidable Nemean lion. The image is captured on an Attic black-figure amphora from Vulci, dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries BC. The intricate details of this artwork highlight the mastery of Greek artistry during that era. The contrasting black figures against the vibrant background bring life to this legendary tale. With his muscular physique and determined expression, Heracles epitomizes strength and bravery as he confronts the ferocious lion. The Nemean lion, known for its impenetrable golden fur and immense power, poses a formidable challenge for our hero. This iconic scene represents one of Heracles' twelve labors assigned by King Eurystheus as penance for killing his own wife and children in a fit of madness induced by Hera. Displayed at Museo Civico in Brescia, Italy's Lombardia region, this artifact serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. It stands as a reminder of our ancestors' reverence for heroes who overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Photographed by Santiago Ortega with great attention to detail and composition, this vertical print captures not only the essence of Greek art but also invites viewers into an epic world where mortals clash with mythical creatures. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to preserving ancient cultures without commercial intentions.
