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 portrait of Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, was painted by the renowned German artist, Lucas Cranach the Elder, between the years 1525 and 1527. The image showcases Frederick III, also known as "Friedrich der Weise" or "Frederick the Wise," in his later years. The Elector's wise and thoughtful expression, accentuated by his long, flowing beard, exudes a sense of authority and sagacity. Frederick III was a significant figure during the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance in Germany. He was not only the Elector of Saxony but also the Landgrave of Thuringia. His powerful House of Wettin played a crucial role in the Holy Roman Empire. Lucas Cranach the Elder, a great master of German art, expertly captured the essence of Frederick III's character in this portrait. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow, adds depth and dimension to the painting. The Elector's fur-trimmed hat and the rich textures of his clothing further emphasize his regal status. This portrait, now housed in the German Historical Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of both Frederick III and Lucas Cranach the Elder. Their legacies continue to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Germany during the 15th and 16th centuries.
