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 stunning Baroque masterpiece, titled "Allegory of the Abdication of Emperor Charles V in Brussels," is a painting by the Flemish artist Frans Francken the Younger, created around 1630-1640. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland. The allegorical scene depicts the momentous act of abdication by Emperor Charles V in 1555, which took place in the Grand Palace in Brussels, Belgium. The painting captures the essence of this significant historical event, with Emperor Charles V, dressed in imperial robes and seated on a magnificent throne, symbolically passing his imperial crown to his brother Ferdinand, represented by an animal with the head of a bull, signifying strength and power. The allegory is further enhanced by various figures and symbols in the painting. The continents of Europe and America are represented by women, with Europe holding a document, symbolizing the division of the empire between the two brothers. The floor is adorned with a banner bearing the motto "I will make thee the head and not the tail," indicating the imperial dignity that Charles V was relinquishing. The painting's intricate details and fantastic elements, such as the mythical creatures and elaborate architecture, are characteristic of the Baroque style. The Allegory of the Abdication of Emperor Charles V in Brussels is a testament to Frans Francken the Younger's artistic skill and the rich artistic heritage of Flanders during the 17th century.
