23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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 image transports us to the Apollo Gallery in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, during the 17th century. The gallery, also known as the Galerie d'Apollon or Galerie du Drap d'Or, was commissioned by the powerful finance minister of King Louis XIV, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, with the intention of creating a grand space to showcase the royal collection of paintings. The Apollo Gallery is a prime example of Baroque architecture and ornamentation, with its intricately decorated ceiling being a particular highlight. The celestial theme of the gallery is reflected in the painted design of the ceiling, which features Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, surrounded by various mythological figures and symbols. The gallery was designed by the architects Le Vau and Le Pautre, and the ceiling was painted by the renowned artist Charles Le Brun. The result is a breathtaking space that exudes opulence and grandeur, fitting for the royal collection it was intended to house. The Louvre Museum, which originally served as a royal palace, has a rich history and is now one of the world's most famous museums and cultural institutions. The Apollo Gallery is just one of its many treasures, offering visitors a glimpse into the art and architecture of Europe's past.
