FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th-century sculpture, titled "Venus and Adonis," is the masterpiece of renowned Italian Baroque sculptor Ferdinando Tacca (1619-1686). Created during Tacca's prime, this sculpture is a testament to his exceptional artistic skills and his deep understanding of the classical mythology that was prevalent during the Baroque period in Europe. Born in Florence, Italy, Tacca was a prominent figure in the Florentine School of sculpture, which was known for its grandiose and ornate style. The influence of this school is evident in the intricate details and lifelike quality of the sculpture. The sculpture depicts the mythological tale of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, and Adonis, a handsome young man whom she fell deeply in love with. The sculpture is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary, where it continues to captivate visitors with its exquisite beauty and historical significance. The intricate details of Venus's voluptuous form and Adonis's muscular physique are rendered with such precision that they seem almost lifelike. The emotion and passion that Tacca has captured in the sculpture are palpable, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the Baroque period. The sculpture's intricate details, such as the delicate folds of Venus's robe and the veins on Adonis's arms, are a testament to Tacca's exceptional craftsmanship. The sculpture's placement in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest is a fitting tribute to Tacca's legacy as one of the greatest sculptors of the Baroque period. This sculpture is not only a work of art but also a historical artifact that tells the story of love, passion, and the enduring influence of classical mythology on European art.
