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
This print captures the profound and emotional scene of the Pieta of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, dating back to around 1500. The focal point is the deposition of the cross, where we see the Virgin Mary cradling the lifeless body of her son, Jesus Christ, on her lap. Behind her stands St John the Apostle, his sorrow evident in his expression. The composition also includes Joseph of Arimathea and St Nicodemus the Pharisee, who assist in this solemn moment. Three Maries are present as well - Mary Magdalene draped in red, Mary (mother of James), and Mary Salome - their grief palpable as they mourn alongside Mother Mary. Painted during a time when religion played a central role in society, this artwork symbolizes love and sacrifice within Christianity's New Testament narrative. It showcases not only deep maternal love but also portrays themes such as devotion, spirituality, and togetherness. Displayed at Musee du Louvre in Paris today, this piece from medieval times evokes a sense of reverence and contemplation. The artist skillfully employs oil paint to depict each figure with great attention to detail while conveying their individual emotions. Through this poignant image captured by Anon (creator), viewers are invited into an intimate moment that transcends time – reminding us all of the enduring power found within faith and family bonds.
