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
This print depicts a Roman copy of the renowned Greek sculpture of Alexander the Great, originally sculpted by the ancient Greek artist Lysippos around 330 BC. Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, was a legendary king whose military successes expanded the Macedonian Empire to include much of Europe and Asia. This statue, discovered in Munich's Glyptothek Museum, showcases the young and powerful monarch in his prime. The intricately detailed marble head reveals the regal features of Alexander, with his piercing gaze and flowing, curly hair. The broken nose and subtle imperfections add to the authenticity and age of the piece, transporting us back to the ancient world. The sculpture's type, known as the "Farnese Type," is characterized by a youthful and idealized representation of Alexander, which was popular during the Hellenistic period. The Roman copy, made centuries after the original Greek masterpiece, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Alexander the Great and the artistic influence of ancient Greece. The interior of the Glyptothek Museum in Munich, Germany, provides the perfect setting for this magnificent work of art, which continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike with its historical significance and artistic merit.
