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 striking portrait captures the intensity and brilliance of Benjamin West (1738-1820), an influential American artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Pennsylvania, West is considered one of the founding fathers of American art. He studied under the renowned British painter, William Penn, and later traveled to Italy, where he was deeply inspired by the works of Titian, Veronese, and other Old Masters. West's artistic style was characterized by his ability to capture the drama and emotion of historical scenes. He gained international recognition for his masterful depictions of biblical and mythological subjects, as well as his portraits of prominent figures from politics and society. One of his most famous works is "The Death of General Wolfe," which hangs in the National Gallery in London. In this portrait, West is depicted in a thoughtful and contemplative pose, with a serious expression that reflects his deep commitment to his art. His piercing gaze and the intricate details of his clothing and accessories convey a sense of refinement and sophistication. The use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the painting's dynamic and expressive quality. West's contributions to American art were significant, as he helped establish a tradition of historical painting that would influence generations of artists. His legacy continues to be celebrated, and his works can be found in major museums and galleries around the world. This portrait is a testament to West's artistic vision and his enduring influence on the history of art.
