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.

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 "Monk catches the blood of Christ" captured by Quint Lox, we are transported back to the year 1616 and witness a powerful moment of adoration. The image depicts a scene from Johannes Wierix's artwork, where a kneeling figure, surrounded by monks standing in reverence, reaches out with an ornate chalice to catch spurts of blood spouting from Christ's wounds on the cross. The intensity of the moment is palpable as we see the monk's head haloed in divine light while he carefully collects the precious blood. Every detail is meticulously portrayed, from Christ's serene expression to his wounded body atop a hill. This profound act symbolizes both devotion and sacrifice as it reminds us of Christ's ultimate gift for humanity. The donors' presence further emphasizes their role in supporting this sacred ritual. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice other monks kneeling nearby with open Bibles containing verses from Isaiah 55 written in Latin. Their solemn expressions reflect deep contemplation and spiritual connection. Quint Lox skillfully captures not only Wierix's masterpiece but also its timeless significance. This print serves as a reminder that faith can move mountains and that even centuries later, art continues to inspire awe and ignite our souls with its enduring power.
