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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century icon, titled Mother of God of Kazan, is a prime example of the rich artistic heritage of Russia's Orthodox Christian tradition. The image depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus, both clad in golden robes and haloed, against a vibrant Byzantine background. The tender expression on Mary's face conveys the deep love and nurturing maternal bond between mother and child. Two young boys, possibly angels, gaze up at the Madonna and Child in awe and reverence. The icon, created using tempera on wood, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Russian School during this period. It is believed that the icon was originally housed in a Russian Orthodox church in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia, before being transported to France and eventually acquired by the Petit Palais Museum in Paris. The Mother of God of Kazan holds significant religious and cultural significance for both Russia and the wider Christian world. As the patron saint of Russia, she is known as Our Lady of Kazan and is revered as the protector of the Russian people. The icon is also known as Stella Maris, or the Star of the Sea, and is often invoked for protection during travel and in times of danger. The image of the Mother and Child has been a source of inspiration for generations of artists, poets, and theologians, and continues to be a powerful symbol of motherhood, love, and faith. The icon's enduring beauty and significance make it a cherished treasure of the Petit Palais Museum and a must-see for visitors to Paris.
