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
The Athena Giustiniani, also known as the Giustiniani Minerva or the Pallas Athena of the Braccio Nuovo, is a stunning ancient Roman copy of a Greek statue of the goddess Athena, or Pallas Athena, dating back to the 2nd century AD. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the enduring influence of Greek mythology and the artistic prowess of the ancient world. The statue, carved from Parian marble, depicts Athena in her warrior form, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with an aegis, a protective shield, and holding a lance in her right hand and a snake, or serpent, in her left. The goddess's serene expression and the intricate details of her robe and helmet reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. The Athena Giustiniani is a valuable addition to the Chiaramonti Museum in the Vatican Museums, located in Vatican City. This museum, which is home to an extensive collection of ancient Roman and Greek art, provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient world. The statue, believed to have been part of the collection of the Roman emperor Nerva or his successor Trajan, is a reminder of the Antonine Dynasty's appreciation for the arts and the influence of Greek mythology on Roman culture. The Athena Giustiniani is a symbol of wisdom, courage, and protection, making it a revered and holy sight for visitors to the Vatican Museums. The intricate details of this ancient statue continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the mythological past and the artistic achievements of the ancient world.
