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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print titled "Saturnus" we are transported to a world of myth and symbolism. The image, created by artists Willem Basse and Jan Saenredam between 1633 and 1672, depicts the ancient Roman god Saturn devouring his own children. This powerful representation delves into themes of religion, spirituality, and the human condition. The figure of Saturn stands tall on a pedestal, his imposing presence evoking both awe and fear. In one hand, he holds a scythe symbolizing the passage of time and mortality. With his other hand, he grips onto one unfortunate child who is about to meet their tragic fate. This artwork invites us to contemplate the darker aspects of our existence - the destructive forces that can consume innocence and life itself. It serves as a reminder that even gods are not exempt from their own flaws or cruel tendencies. As viewers, we cannot help but be drawn in by the intensity captured within this scene. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle strain in Saturn's arms conveys power while simultaneously revealing vulnerability. "Saturnus" challenges us to reflect on our own spiritual beliefs and confronts us with questions about divine justice or lack thereof. It reminds us that within religious narratives lies an exploration of humanity's capacity for both creation and destruction – an eternal struggle that continues to shape our lives today.
