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
Denis Diderot, the renowned French erudite writer and philosopher, is depicted in this poignant watercolor painting titled "La Piece de Famille" or "The Family Scene," created by the skilled hand of artist Ziesenis. The year is unknown, but the image captures Diderot in his later years, surrounded by a group of people, both men and women, who appear to be his family and friends. The setting is intimate and theatrical, with the figures arranged in a semi-circle, as if engaged in a lively conversation or perhaps a playful performance. Diderot's masculine energy and intellectual brilliance are palpable, as he sits in the center, his gaze fixed on an unseen audience or perhaps lost in thought. The women around him, with their feminine elegance and grace, add a sense of warmth and nurturing to the scene. The men, with their serious expressions and attentive postures, convey a sense of respect and admiration for the man at the heart of the gathering. The painting offers a glimpse into the personal side of Diderot, the man behind the philosopher and writer, and invites us to reflect on the importance of family, friendship, and community in our own lives. The cultural and historical significance of this image is further underscored by its creation by Ziesenis, a master of the watercolor medium, whose skillful use of color and light brings the scene to life in a way that transcends time and place.
