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.

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 the famous painting "Old Parr, 17th century" by Peter Paul Rubens. The portrait depicts an elderly Englishman named Thomas Parr, who was believed to have lived an astonishing 152 years. This remarkable artwork is featured in the book Famous Paintings with an Introduction by Gilbert Chesterton, published in 1912. Rubens masterfully captures the essence of old age through his meticulous attention to detail. The long flowing beard and weathered face of Thomas Parr convey a sense of wisdom and experience that can only be acquired over a lifetime. His eyes seem to hold countless stories from a bygone era. The monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to this seventeenth-century masterpiece. It transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into the life of this extraordinary centenarian from England's past. Gilbert Chesterton's introduction provides valuable insights into both Rubens' artistic prowess and the historical significance of Thomas Parr's longevity. Together, they create a profound connection between art, history, and human existence. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our own mortality while marveling at the resilience and strength exhibited by Old Tom Parr throughout his exceptionally long life. It serves as a poignant reminder that every wrinkle tells a story – one that deserves our utmost respect and admiration for those who came before us.
