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
Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, fertility, and revelry, is depicted in this stunning 19th century engraving by the renowned artist Gustave Dore. The image, richly colored and intricately detailed, captures the essence of Bacchus and the Bacchanalia, the wild and ecstatic festivities in his honor. Bacchus is shown in the center of the print, dressed in the traditional ivy crown and holding a cup filled with wine. He is surrounded by a lively group of revellers, all lost in the moment as they dance and play their musical instruments. The scene is filled with the symbols of Bacchus' domain - grapevines, grapes, and the occasional animal, such as a panther or a goat, which were believed to be sacred to the god. The engraving, a testament to the artistic prowess of Gustave Dore, masterfully captures the contemporary interpretation of the mythological figure. Bacchus, with his mischievous grin and the wild energy of the scene, invites us to join in the festivities and lose ourselves in the moment. The image is a reminder of the historical significance of Bacchus and the Bacchanalia in ancient mythology and the enduring power of art to bring myths to life. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a must-have for any collection of mythological art or for those interested in the history of art and mythology. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, to immerse us in the stories and myths that have shaped human culture for centuries.
