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 titled "The Marriage Trap: Allegory on the Marriage" is a mesmerizing piece of art created by Cornelis van Dalen II and Adriaen Pietersz. It showcases a thought-provoking allegorical representation of marriage, filled with symbolism and hidden meanings. In this artwork, we witness couples walking arm in arm, seemingly enjoying their marital bliss. However, upon closer inspection, we notice the presence of a trap lurking beneath them. A safety net held up by cupid sits below, suggesting that love can sometimes be deceptive and may lead us into unforeseen traps. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of putti dancing to music while men and women run around them. Erotic allusions are subtly incorporated throughout the composition, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. The lyrics and staves scattered around hint at both joyous celebrations and potential dangers within marriage. As our eyes explore every detail meticulously captured in this print, we cannot help but notice one figure waving an ax anonymously amidst the chaos. This enigmatic character adds an element of mystery to the overall composition. "The Marriage Trap: Allegory on the Marriage" invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities inherent in relationships while questioning societal expectations surrounding matrimony. Quint Lox's skillful capture brings out every nuance present in this historical masterpiece from Bernardus Kleynhens' collection - a true testament to his artistic prowess.
