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.

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.

The Hermit Xu You Resting by a Stream, 1400s - A Glimpse into the Tranquil Life of an Ancient Reclusive Figure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of "The Hermit Xu You Resting by a Stream" a masterpiece created in the 1400s by Dai Jin. The subject of this painting, Xu You, is an ancient worthy and reclusive figure who chose to lead a simple life despite being offered positions of power. Xu You's story unfolds as we delve into his encounters with legendary emperor Yao. Refusing the throne and opting for a humble existence as a farmer under Mount Ji, he epitomizes humility and wisdom. In another instance when offered authority over China's Nine Territories, he sought solace near River Ying to cleanse his ears from such unwelcome proposals. In this remarkable artwork, Dai Jin skillfully portrays Xu You beside a serene riverbank. The scene exudes tranquility as Xu You appears calm and composed amidst nature's embrace. Created during the Ming Dynasty, this hanging scroll showcases Dai Jin's mastery in ink and slight color on silk. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images at The Cleveland Museum of Art (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back in time to witness the profound simplicity that defined one man's extraordinary path. It serves as both an ode to ancient Chinese culture and an invitation for us to reflect on our own desires for peace and contentment in today
