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.

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
In this print titled "The Education of Achilles" we are transported into the mythical world of Greek mythology. Painted by the talented Irish artist James Barry, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases his exceptional skill and attention to detail. The composition is rich with symbolism and narrative elements. Centaurs, half-human and half-horse creatures from ancient lore, surround a young Achilles as they impart their wisdom upon him. The presence of a horse emphasizes the importance of strength and agility in battle. An inscription and diagram add an intellectual dimension to the artwork, suggesting that education encompasses both physical training and mental development. The landscape in the background creates a serene atmosphere while also alluding to epic adventures that lie ahead for Achilles. A lyre, spear, herm statue, and other objects scattered throughout the scene further enhance our understanding of Greek culture and mythology. Shadows play across the figures' faces, adding depth to their expressions and gestures. One cannot help but be drawn into this enchanting image where men interact with mythological beings under the watchful eye of Achilles' mother. This painting captures a pivotal moment in history when knowledge was passed down through generations. "The Education of Achilles" is not just a beautiful piece; it serves as a reminder that learning goes beyond textbooks—it is an immersive experience that shapes individuals into heroes capable of great feats.
