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 stunning equestrian portrait depicts Charles II of Spain, also known as Charles III of Naples and Sicily, on horseback. Painted by the renowned Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano in the late 17th century, this masterpiece now resides at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. Charles II, a member of the House of Habsburg, ruled various territories throughout Europe including Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia. In this portrait, he is depicted in full armor, showcasing his regal presence and military might. The rearing horse adds to the dynamic energy of the composition, emphasizing the power and strength of the monarch. The Baroque style, characterized by grandeur, drama, and emotion, is evident in the intricate details of the painting. Luca Giordano expertly captures the play of light on the armor, creating a sense of depth and texture. The artist's skillful use of color and brushwork brings the portrait to life, making it a true masterpiece of the period. Charles II's reign was marked by political instability and conflict, but this portrait offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Spanish monarchy during the 17th and 18th centuries. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Spain, and is a must-see for any art or history enthusiast visiting the Prado Museum.
