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.

Two Men Contemplating the Moon, ca. 1825-30
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Caspar David Friedrich is a captivating oil painting that transports us to the romantic era of 19th century Germany. In this mesmerizing artwork, two figures stand beneath a majestic tree, their gazes fixed upon the luminous moon hanging in the night sky. The painting beautifully captures the essence of contemplation and awe as these men immerse themselves in the wonders of nature and astronomy. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth a sense of tranquility and introspection, inviting viewers to join in their silent observation. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are reminded of humanity's eternal fascination with natural phenomena and our place within it. The juxtaposition between man-made elements such as the figures and nature's grandeur symbolizes our desire to understand and connect with something greater than ourselves. Friedrich's use of color adds depth and emotion to the scene; subtle shades of blues evoke a sense of mystery while warm earth tones ground us in reality. This harmonious blend creates an atmosphere where time seems suspended, allowing for profound reflection on life's mysteries. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), "Two Men Contemplating the Moon" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Friedrich's mastery as an artist, his ability to transport us beyond physical boundaries into realms where imagination meets reality.
