23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this etching titled "The Miseries of War: Highway Robbery" created by the talented French artist Jacques Callot in 1633, we are transported back to a tumultuous era filled with chaos and despair. The print depicts a scene of lawlessness on a desolate highway, where unsuspecting travelers fall victim to ruthless bandits. Callot's intricate attention to detail allows us to witness the sheer terror and helplessness experienced by those caught in the clutches of these highwaymen. The composition is masterfully executed, capturing the intense emotions through expressive gestures and facial expressions. Each figure tells its own story - from the desperate pleas for mercy to the menacing grins of their assailants. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that Callot intended not only to depict an isolated incident but also shed light on the broader theme of war's devastating impact on society. Through his skillful use of line work and shading techniques, he conveys a sense of darkness and foreboding that permeates every inch of this print. "The Miseries of War: Highway Robbery" serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst great turmoil, art has the power to immortalize human experiences and provoke contemplation about our collective history. This particular piece stands proudly within the collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art, offering visitors an opportunity to reflect upon both artistic brilliance and historical significance captured within its frames.
