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
The Flagellation," a masterpiece by the renowned German painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer, dates back to 1496-1497. This exquisite xylography, or woodcut print, is currently housed in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Dürer's depiction of The Flagellation, a scene from the New Testament, portrays a poignant moment in the Passion of Christ. In this powerful image, we see Jesus, his body taut with pain and exhaustion, being flogged by a group of men. He stands before a column, his loincloth falling away, revealing the raw, red welts on his back. The men, their faces twisted in determination, wield scourges, their expressions a mix of anger and resolve. This work of art, a testament to the human capacity for both cruelty and compassion, is a striking example of the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period. The intricate details, from the individual strands of hair on Christ's head to the veins bulging on the floggers' arms, demonstrate Dürer's exceptional skill as a draftsman and engraver. The Flagellation holds significant historical and religious importance. It offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural climate of the late 15th century, as well as the deep-rooted Christian beliefs of the time. The image continues to resonate with viewers today, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. The National Museum of Denmark's acquisition of this invaluable work is a testament to the institution's commitment to preserving and sharing the rich artistic heritage of Denmark and beyond. The Flagellation remains a captivating and thought-provoking work of art that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the museum.
