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
Immerse yourself in the rich history and mythology of ancient Greece as you behold the intricately detailed bronze bust of Zeus, a masterpiece of Greek art from the Classical Period's Initial Phase. Dated to the year 460 BCE, this Severe Style sculpture was discovered at the bottom of the Aegean Sea near Cape Artemision. The statue, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, offers a captivating glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient world. The severe style, characterized by its rigid and formal representation, is evident in the stern expression and tightly coiled beard of Zeus. The god's portrait exudes an air of authority and power, reflecting his status as the king of the gods and the god of the sky, thunder, and justice. The intricate details of the head, from the furrows on the forehead to the curls of the beard, reveal the skill and artistry of the ancient Greek sculptor. The bronze bust's discovery at the bottom of the sea adds to its mystique and historical significance. The sea, a powerful and unpredictable force, played a crucial role in ancient Greek mythology and culture. The fact that this precious artifact was preserved in the depths of the Aegean Sea for centuries before being discovered speaks to the enduring power and allure of the ancient Greek world. As you gaze upon the severe yet captivating visage of Zeus, you are transported back in time to the 5th century BCE, an era of artistic and cultural innovation that continues to influence and inspire us today. The National Archaeological Museum in Athens, with its vast collection of ancient Greek art and artifacts, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, mythology, or the artistic achievements of the ancient world.
