Antique Apollo Justinian Marble Mythology
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 exquisite marble head, depicting the ancient Greek god Apollo, dates back to the 2nd century AD. It was discovered in the ruins of the Palace of Justinian in Rome, Italy, and is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, England. The Palace of Justinian, also known as the Palatine Palace, was a grand imperial residence built by the Roman Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century AD. The discovery of this ancient sculpture suggests that the Palace contained a significant collection of antique art, reflecting the wealth and cultural sophistication of the Roman Empire during this period. Apollo, the god of the sun, music, poetry, and prophecy, was one of the most revered deities in ancient Greek and Roman mythology. This marble head, with its serene expression and finely carved features, captures the god's youthful and divine beauty. The intricate details of the hair, which is styled in the Greek kalathos-krobesterion, and the delicate rendering of the god's facial features, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Roman sculptor. The British Museum's acquisition of this ancient sculpture is a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving and showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient world. The head of Apollo serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Greek and Roman art and mythology on Western civilization, and continues to inspire and captivate visitors to the museum to this day.
