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 print captures the essence of "Veritas" from Prosopographia, created by Philip Galle in the late 16th century. The allegorical figure of Veritas, meaning truth in Latin, stands tall as a symbol of Christianity and knowledge. With long flowing hair and nakedness representing purity, she exudes an aura of wisdom. Galle's intricate engraving showcases Veritas surrounded by elements that embody her significance. Birds soar above her head, symbolizing freedom and spirituality. Meanwhile, the solar system depicted behind her serves as a reminder of the vastness of scientific exploration. As we gaze upon this image at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded that truth is not confined to one realm but rather encompasses both religious beliefs and scientific discoveries. Veritas acts as a bridge between these two worlds. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each line contributes to the overall harmony within the composition. Through his skillful craftsmanship, Galle brings forth a timeless representation of truth that continues to resonate with viewers today. This print invites us to reflect on our own pursuit for truth amidst a complex world filled with diverse perspectives. It encourages us to seek knowledge while embracing faith—a powerful message conveyed through this remarkable piece by Philip Galle.
