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.

The Light of the World,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by the Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt between 1851 and 1853, is a captivating and thought-provoking work of art that continues to inspire awe and contemplation. This iconic image, now held in the collection of Keble College, Oxford, is a testament to Hunt's mastery of color and light, as well as his deep spiritual convictions. The painting depicts Jesus Christ, clad in a long robe and carrying a lantern, standing before a door with an ivy-covered knob. His halo radiates a warm, ethereal light, illuminating the dark, moonlit landscape behind him. With a gentle expression, Jesus reaches out to knock on the door, inviting the viewer to consider the nature of faith and the promise of salvation. The use of color in "The Light of the World" is striking, with the rich, earthy tones of the landscape contrasting sharply with the vibrant, otherworldly glow of Jesus' halo. The painting's intricate details, from the delicate ivy on the door to the textured folds of Jesus' robe, are rendered with meticulous precision. This print, published by Virtue and Co in London around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the enduring appeal of "The Light of the World.". The image of Jesus as the bringer of light and salvation has resonated with people throughout history, and this painting continues to be a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith. Whether viewed in person or in print, "The Light of the World" is a work of art that invites us to reflect on the deeper mysteries of the human experience.
