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
In this engraving titled "Labors Hercules Abducting Iole 1544" artist Hans Sebald Beham takes us on a journey through Greek mythology. The print depicts one of the many labors of Hercules, where he is shown abducting Iole. The scene is filled with tension and drama as Hercules, known for his immense strength, carries Iole against her will. His muscular physique and determined expression reveal his determination to complete this task. Meanwhile, Iole's face reflects fear and distress as she struggles in vain to escape from his grasp. Beham's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of the engraving. From the intricate folds of their garments to the delicate shading that adds depth and dimension, it is evident that he was a master at his craft. This artwork not only showcases Beham's technical skill but also highlights his ability to capture emotion within a single image. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics present in ancient myths and raises questions about consent and agency. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an intense moment from Greek mythology brought to life by Beham's artistic vision.
