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.

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 Luca Giordano's masterpiece, "Marsyas and Apollo" created in the early 1650s. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from Greek Mythology, where the satyr Marsyas dares to challenge the mighty Apollo in a contest of music. However, his audacity proves fatal as he not only loses but also forfeits his hide and ultimately his life. Housed within the esteemed State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this artwork exemplifies Italy's rich artistic heritage. Giordano's skillful brushwork and vibrant use of color transport viewers into a world steeped in religious symbolism and mythological storytelling. The composition masterfully captures the agony experienced by Marsyas as he endures the excruciating pain of being flayed alive. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's limitations when faced with divine powers. Giordano expertly brings together elements of Baroque artistry, infusing each stroke with emotion and intensity. The seventeenth-century Neapolitan artist seamlessly blends mythology with historical context, creating an evocative narrative that resonates across time. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece, it becomes evident that Giordano was not merely depicting a mythical figure but delving deeper into profound concepts such as hubris, sacrifice, and mortality itself. This print is an exquisite testament to both artistic mastery and our enduring fascination with ancient tales woven through paint on canvas.
