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
Venus and Adonis," an exquisite oil on canvas painting by Jean Hugues Taraval (1726-1806) from the mid-late 18th century, presents a captivating scene from Greek mythology. The painting showcases the goddess of love, Venus, in all her divine beauty, reclining on a plush, oval-shaped couch adorned with an extravagant garland of flowers, birds, and fruits. The goddess, depicted in the prime of her youth, is nude, her voluptuous form accentuated by the delicate play of light and shadow. Venus' lover, Adonis, is shown in the lower left corner of the painting, his toned physique clad in an animal hide, his long, flowing hair cascading down his back. Adorned with a leopard skin and surrounded by dogs, Adonis is depicted as a skilled hunter, a man of the earth. In the foreground, a greyhound and a pair of doves add to the rich tapestry of the painting, symbolizing the fleeting nature of love and the cycle of life. The painting's lush, vibrant colors and intricate details are characteristic of the Baroque era, a time when art was used to express the grandeur and complexity of the natural world and the human condition. This masterpiece, now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, invites us to explore the timeless themes of love, nature, and the passage of time.
