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 showcases the intricate title page of J. de Bisschop's Paradigmata graphices variorum artificum, dating back to the 17th or 18th century. The focal point is a beautifully sculpted bust of Jan de Bisschop himself, resting atop an ancient sarcophagus. Hovering above is Faam, the trumpet-blowing messenger of fame, accompanied by the symbol of eternity - a snake biting its own tail. To the left of the bust stands Historia, personifying history itself. She holds a writing spring and an open book in her hands, representing knowledge and wisdom passed down through time. On the right side stands Drawing personified, clutching a drawing as she presides over her realm. At their feet are playful putti engrossed in studying various objects such as books and sculptures. The composition also includes symbolic representations like Fame (Fama), Good Reputation (Fama Buona), Clear Reputation (Fama Chiara), alluding to De Bisschop's artistic achievements and recognition within his field. This etching on paper measures approximately 229 mm in height and 153 mm in width. This remarkable piece not only pays homage to Jan de Bisschop but also encapsulates key elements associated with artistry, history, fame, and creativity during that era. It serves as both a visual delight for admirers of fine prints and an intriguing glimpse into the symbolism prevalent in classical artwork
