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
Andrea Schiavone's mid-16th century painting, "Venus Blindfolds Cupid's Eyes," is a captivating masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. This oil on canvas work, created by the Venetian artist Andrea Meldola, also known as Andrea Schiavone, depicts the Roman goddess Venus playfully blindfolding her son Cupid, the god of love. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage of mythology and religion that permeated European art during the Renaissance period. The image of Venus, with her voluptuous figure and sensuous expression, is a representation of the goddess of love and beauty. She gracefully reaches out to Cupid, who is shown with his bow and arrow, symbolizing his power to inflict love upon others. Venus' decision to blindfold Cupid suggests that even the god of love is subject to the whims of fate and the power of love itself. The painting is a stunning example of the color and vibrancy that characterized the art of the Venetian school during the Renaissance. Schiavone's use of rich, bold hues and intricate details adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The painting's provenance is traced back to the collection of the famous Venetian artist Titian, or Tiziano Vecellio, who was a contemporary and mentor to Schiavone. This connection to the great master adds to the painting's historical significance and makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the art and culture of the Renaissance period. Overall, Andrea Schiavone's "Venus Blindfolds Cupid's Eyes" is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless themes and stunning visual appeal.
