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
In this stunning 5th century BC Parian marble sculpture, Hippodamia, the daughter of King Oenomaus of Pisa in ancient Greece, is depicted as a graceful and elegant figure. She is featured on the east pediment of the Temple of Zeus in the Sanctuary of Olympia, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece. Hippodamia's mythological story is deeply intertwined with the mythology of Pelops and Zeus. According to the myth, Pelops fell in love with Hippodamia and wanted to marry her. However, her father, Oenomaus, was reluctant to give his daughter in marriage and challenged any suitor to a chariot race. Pelops, with the help of Myrtilus, won the race, but Oenomaus was killed in the process. Myrtilus, however, was later betrayed by Pelops, and as a result, Hippodamia was married to Pelops against her will. This sculpture of Hippodamia is believed to be a portrait of a real woman, possibly a priestess or a noblewoman from the ancient Greek city-state of Elis. The intricate details of her drapery, hairstyle, and facial features showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Greek sculptors. The serene expression on her face and the fluidity of her pose convey a sense of tranquility and grace. The east pediment of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia is one of the most well-preserved and significant works of ancient Greek art. It is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Greece and continues to captivate scholars and visitors alike. The sculpture of Hippodamia is a masterpiece that embodies the beauty, elegance, and mythological richness of ancient Greek art.
