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
The Idolatry of King Solomon," a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned Dutch artist Salomon Koninck, dates back to the 17th century. This masterpiece, created in 1644, is a striking depiction of an Old Testament biblical scene that continues to intrigue viewers with its rich colors, intricate details, and thought-provoking themes. King Solomon, the wise monarch of Israel, is the central figure in this painting. Known for his wealth and power, Solomon is shown here in a moment of weakness and temptation, as he succumbs to idolatry. Surrounded by a multitude of deities and idols, Solomon reaches out to touch the golden calf, an idol that represents the false god Baal. The idolatrous act is witnessed by a group of Israelites, both male and female, who appear shocked and dismayed by their king's behavior. The painting is a powerful commentary on the dangers of false devotion and the potential for even the most powerful and revered leaders to stray from their faith. The use of color and light in the painting adds to its emotional impact, with the warm tones of the idols contrasting sharply with the cooler hues of the figures in the scene. This painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands and the enduring influence of Christianity on European culture. It can be found in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The Idolatry of King Solomon is a must-see for anyone interested in Old Testament history, religious art, or the artistic achievements of the Dutch Golden Age.
