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.

1. Title: Ancient Greek Pillar-head in the Quarries of Syracuse, Sicily This evocative image captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of an ancient Greek pillar-head, discovered in the Latomia del Paradiso old quarries of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. The intricately carved decorative element, believed to date back to the 5th century BC, is a testament to the remarkable artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. Syracuse, a historic city located on the eastern coast of Sicily, was once a powerful Greek colony and a major cultural center. The city's rich history is reflected in its numerous ancient ruins, including the famous Ear of Dionysius, an impressive limestone cave with unique acoustic properties. The quarries of Latomia del Paradiso, from which this pillar-head was extracted, were once the primary source of the high-quality limestone used to construct many of Syracuse's most iconic structures. The intricate carvings on the pillar-head depict various mythological scenes and motifs, reflecting the ancient Greeks' deep connection to their gods and mythology. The detailed craftsmanship showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of the ancient Greek artisans. This ancient pillar-head stands as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Syracuse and the broader ancient Greek civilization. Its discovery in the Latomia del Paradiso quarries underscores the importance of these sites as valuable repositories of history and artistic achievement. Today, the pillar-head is preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Syracuse, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors and scholars alike. The image invites us to contemplate the enduring legacy of the ancient Greeks and the profound impact their art and culture have had on Western civilization. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared historical and artistic heritage.
