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.

The Story of Psyche, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Maurice Denis is a captivating artwork that beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and the power of love. In this particular panel, titled "Eros is Struck by Psyche's Beauty" we witness a pivotal moment in the legendary tale. The painting transports us to a lush garden where Eros, also known as Cupid, stands mesmerized before the breathtaking beauty of Psyche. The artist skillfully portrays her standing gracefully amidst the landscape, her flowing dress adding an ethereal touch to her presence. With delicate wings adorning her back, she embodies both vulnerability and strength. Denis' post-impressionist style infuses vibrant colors and soft brushstrokes into this scene, creating an atmosphere that feels dreamlike yet grounded in reality. The use of symbolism further enhances our understanding of the narrative: Eros represents desire and passion while Psyche symbolizes human soul or spirit. As part of Les Nabis artistic movement in France during the early 20th century, Maurice Denis showcases his mastery in capturing mythical figures with emotional depth. This oil painting now resides within the esteemed collection at State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. "The Story of Psyche" serves as a timeless reminder that love can strike unexpectedly and transform lives forever. Through Maurice Denis' artistic vision, we are invited to immerse ourselves in this enchanting mythological world where beauty intertwines with longing and desire.
