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. 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 print captures Plate 17: Illustration to Canto XVII, from Torquato Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata III, created by the talented Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in the late 16th or early 17th century. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and showcases a scene from Tasso's epic poem about the liberation of Jerusalem. In this image, we see a group of crusaders on horseback, armed and ready for battle. They are depicted amidst a backdrop of ancient Egypt, with pyramids rising in the distance. The attention to detail is remarkable as each figure exudes strength and determination. The composition also includes cherubs or amorini hovering above the warriors, adding an angelic touch to this dramatic portrayal. A horn of plenty symbolizing abundance can be spotted among these mythical creatures. Tempesta's etching skillfully combines elements of mythology, literature, and history into one powerful visual narrative. Through his intricate lines and shading techniques, he brings to life both human figures and animals alike. This print serves as a testament to Tempesta's mastery as an artist during this period. It not only showcases his technical prowess but also highlights his ability to capture emotion within each character portrayed. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it reminds us of the enduring power that art possesses in preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come.
