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.

Cupid and Psyche
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating marble sculpture created by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Canova in the late 18th century. This exquisite work of art is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and dates back to the circa 1790s. The sculpture depicts the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, two figures deeply intertwined in the realm of love and desire. Cupid, the mischievous and powerful god of love, is depicted as a young, nude boy with delicate wings on his back. He is shown tenderly embracing Psyche, a beautiful woman, who is lying on the ground with her eyes closed. Psyche's serene expression and graceful posture convey her deep surrender to the power of love. The intricate details of their bodies and the delicate folds of their robes are masterfully carved, showcasing Canova's exceptional skill and artistry. The sculpture is a testament to the transformative power of love and the depth of emotions it evokes. According to the myth, Cupid fell in love with Psyche and, in an attempt to prove her worthiness, Psyche was given a series of impossible tasks. With the help of her sisters and the gods, Psyche completed each task, and as a reward, she was granted eternal love and immortality. Canova's "Cupid and Psyche" sculpture is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details, emotional depth, and exquisite beauty. The sculpture's placement in the Louvre Museum, one of the world's most renowned art institutions, further solidifies its status as a cultural icon and a must-see attraction for visitors to Paris.
