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
The Oath of the Horatii, painted by Armand Charles Caraffe in 1791, captures a powerful moment in Roman history. According to Livy, this iconic scene depicts three brave Roman brothers who pledged their lives to defend their city against the rival Alba Longa. The fate of both cities rested on the outcome of this battle. In this print found at the State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, we witness a profound display of loyalty and sacrifice. The composition showcases the solemn oath-taking ceremony as each brother raises his hand with determination and conviction. Their father stands proudly beside them, imparting wisdom and strength. The painting exudes patriotism and highlights the virtues associated with duty and honor. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the gleaming swords held tightly by these courageous warriors to the flowing robes worn by women anxiously awaiting their return. Caraffe's masterpiece not only portrays an ancient tale but also resonates with timeless themes such as family bonds, bravery, and selflessness. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have willingly put themselves in harm's way for a greater cause. This artwork is a testament to Caraffe's skillful brushwork and his ability to capture emotions frozen in time. As we gaze upon this print today, it evokes admiration for those who fought for what they believed in centuries ago.
