FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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
1. Title: "A Symbol of Compassion and Nurture: Andrea della Robbia's Ceramic Tondo of a Baby at the Hospital of the Innocents in Florence" Andrea della Robbia's exquisite ceramic tondo, created in the 15th century, captures the essence of new life and the healing power of compassion at Florence's Hospital of the Innocents. This masterpiece, showcasing a baby swaddled in blue clothes, is a testament to the artistic and architectural brilliance of the Renaissance era. The Hospital of the Innocents, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, is a significant architectural landmark in Florence, Italy. Established in 1410, it was the first hospital in Europe dedicated to the care of abandoned infants. The circular structure, with its distinctive arches and columns, served as a beacon of hope for countless children. Andrea della Robbia's ceramic tondo, a roundel or wheel-shaped relief, is a perfect representation of the hospital's mission. The artist expertly captured the delicate features of the baby, its peaceful expression, and the intricately folded swaddling clothes in terracotta. The use of the blue color for the baby's garments is believed to symbolize the Virgin Mary, further emphasizing the spiritual significance of the institution. The tondo is a remarkable example of the early Renaissance style, showcasing the innovative techniques of the time. The relief's high relief design, with its three-dimensional quality, adds depth and texture to the image. The ceramic medium, which was relatively new in the 15th century, allowed for the creation of intricate details and lifelike representations. As a symbol of hope, nurture, and compassion, Andrea della Robbia's ceramic tondo remains an enduring masterpiece. It stands as a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of the Renaissance era and the enduring legacy of the Hospital of the Innocents in Florence, Italy.
