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.

Domenica Morghen, circa 1780: A Captivating Tale of Love and Artistic Pursuit This evocative portrait captures the enchanting beauty of Domenica Morghen (1752-1815), the beloved daughter of the renowned Italian engraver, Giovanni Volpato. Born into a family of artists, Domenica's life was destined to be intertwined with the world of art and creativity. At a young age, Domenica was betrothed to the esteemed Italian sculptor, Antonio Canova. The arrangement was a strategic move to further the artistic careers of both families. However, the heart of Domenica yearned for something more profound than a politically advantageous marriage. As the years passed, Domenica found herself drawn to the charismatic Raffaele Morghen, a painter and engraver. Despite her betrothal to Canova and the potential scandal, Domenica's heart remained true to Raffaele. In a defiant act of love, she wed him in secret, much to the dismay of her family and the artistic community. This portrait, captured around 1780, immortalizes the enigmatic allure of Domenica Morghen. Her expressive eyes, delicate features, and the delicate folds of her dress suggest a woman of depth and passion, unafraid to follow her heart, even in the face of societal expectations. The story of Domenica Morghen is a testament to the power of love and the strength of the human spirit. Her defiance against societal norms and her unwavering commitment to her heart's desire continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
