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 exquisitely detailed miniature painting, hailing from the 15th century Codex of Privileges housed in Brescia's renowned Biblioteca Queriniana, presents a striking and thought-provoking scene. The image portrays a judge, seated majestically on his ornate throne, surrounded by a crowd of supplicants. Their hopeful gazes are fixed upon the judge, as they present their petitions and pleas for mercy. However, the idyllic scene is marred by the corrupt actions of the judge, who is blatantly accepting bribes from one of the men, hidden from the view of the others. The rich colors and intricate details of this illuminated manuscript painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the medieval era. The judge's robes, adorned with intricate patterns and embroidery, contrast sharply with the drab clothing of the supplicants. The use of perspective and shading adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 15th-century Italian art. The Codex of Privileges was a valuable document that granted various legal and administrative privileges to the city of Brescia and its citizens. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the corrupt practices that have long plagued the legal system, even in the most revered institutions of the past. Despite the passage of centuries, the issues of corruption and the abuse of power continue to resonate with us today, making this painting a timeless work of art that speaks to the human condition.
