31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 Man of Sorrows" a title-page to Small Passion, created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Durer in 1511. Held by the prestigious British Museum in London, this engraving is a powerful representation of religious devotion during the Renaissance period. In this striking image, we see a solitary male figure sitting barefoot with his head in his hands, embodying deep despair and sorrow. The man's anguished expression reflects the suffering endured by Jesus Christ as he wears a crown of thorns upon his head. This artwork is part of a series known as "Small Passion" which depicts scenes from the life and passion of Christ. Durer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every line and stroke, capturing both physical pain and emotional anguish with remarkable precision. The monochrome composition adds an air of solemnity to the piece, emphasizing its spiritual significance. As we contemplate this portrait, we are transported back to 16th-century Germany where religious devotion was at its peak. Through Durer's masterful craftsmanship, we witness not only an artistic masterpiece but also an embodiment of faith and devotion that resonates across time. "The Man of Sorrows" serves as a testament to Durer's genius as well as his ability to evoke profound emotions through art. It remains one of the most iconic works within Northern Renaissance art history—a timeless reminder of human suffering and redemption found within Christianity.
