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.

Hercules and the Centaurs,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Cornelis Cort from the series "The Labours of Hercules," dates back to the 16th century. This masterpiece, created in Flanders, Belgium, showcases the legendary Greek hero Hercules engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Centaurs. The Centaurs, mythical creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, are depicted as wild and aggressive, attacking Hercules with spears and arrows. Hercules, the divine hero, is shown in the center of the image, clad in a lion skin and armed with a club and a shield. His muscular physique and determined expression reflect his strength and courage. The contrast between the human Hercules and the bestial Centaurs highlights the dichotomy between civilization and nature. This engraving, part of the "Labours of Hercules" series, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Greek mythology in European art. The intricate details and bold lines bring the myth to life, transporting the viewer to a time when gods and heroes walked among mortals. The black and white medium adds a sense of timelessness and gravity to the scene, enhancing the dramatic effect. This engraving, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a significant addition to the heritage of European art. Cornelis Cort's mastery of the engraving technique is evident in the intricate details and the dynamic composition of the image. The fight between Hercules and the Centaurs is a classic scene from Greek mythology, and this engraving serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage it represents.
