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 oil on canvas painting, titled "Skier" by Swiss artist Giovanni Giacometti, dates back to the year 1899. The image transports us to the picturesque landscapes of the Swiss Alps, where the joy and exhilaration of winter sports come alive. The central figure of the painting is a robust and powerful skier, dressed in traditional attire, gracefully gliding down a rocky, snow-covered landscape. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the athlete's body in motion, the fluidity of his movements, and the harmony between man and nature. The painting is a beautiful representation of the genre of landscapegène, which focuses on leisure activities and the enjoyment of the natural world. The winter scene is filled with symbolism, as the skier embodies the spirit of physical culture and the pursuit of health and wellbeing. The painting also serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of winter sports, which have been a cherished pastime for generations. Giacometti, a renowned Swiss painter, expertly uses bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to bring the scene to life. The painting is a visual feast, with the snow-capped mountains in the background providing a stunning backdrop to the dynamic action taking place in the foreground. The overall effect is one of energy, vitality, and the pure joy of winter sports. This painting is a true masterpiece and a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for fine art and the beauty of the natural world.
