31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 showcases "The Virgin of the Navigators" a remarkable painting created in 1536. This masterpiece, painted by an unknown artist, beautifully captures the essence of religious devotion and exploration during the Age of Discovery. In this image, we are transported to a time when seafaring voyages were filled with uncertainty and danger. The central figure is none other than the Virgin Mary herself, depicted as the protector and guide for sailors embarking on treacherous journeys across uncharted waters. She stands atop a globe, symbolizing her universal presence and influence. Surrounding her are various figures representing different aspects of navigation: explorers, cartographers, navigators, and even indigenous people from newly discovered lands. They all look up to her with reverence and hope for safe passage through their perilous expeditions. The vibrant colors used in this painting bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on Mary's robe to the meticulously crafted ships sailing towards distant horizons. The artist's skillful brushwork creates a sense of movement that draws us into this sacred scene. "The Virgin of the Navigators" serves as a powerful reminder of faith's role in times of uncertainty. It celebrates humanity's relentless spirit of exploration while acknowledging our need for divine protection along our journeys. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but be inspired by its timeless message – that even amidst turbulent seas or uncharted territories, there is always solace to be found in
