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: "A 19th Century Anonymous Iconostasis from Gjirokastra, Albania: A Testament to Eastern Christian Devotion at the National Art Gallery, Tirana" This evocative image showcases an anonymous 19th-century iconostasis, a sacred screen that separates the nave from the sanctuary in Eastern Christian churches, hailing from the historic city of Gjirokastra in Albania. Housed at the National Art Gallery in Tirana, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of Albania. The iconostasis, a significant architectural and artistic element of Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic churches, is adorned with intricately painted icons representing various saints, biblical scenes, and religious symbols. Each icon is meticulously crafted, revealing the skill and devotion of the anonymous artist and the community that commissioned it. The 19th century was a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in Albania, as the country experienced a renaissance of its Eastern Christian traditions. This iconostasis reflects the strong influence of Byzantine art, which permeated the religious art of the region. The use of gold leaf, rich colors, and intricate details exemplifies the artistic techniques and materials employed during this time. The iconostasis serves not only as a decorative element but also as a spiritual focal point for worshippers. The icons, which are venerated as windows to the divine, offer a glimpse into the deep faith and devotion of the Eastern Christian community in Albania. This anonymous work is a reminder of the rich artistic and religious history of Albania, a country that has long been shaped by its diverse cultural heritage. The iconostasis from Gjirokastra stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Eastern Christianity in the region and the importance of preserving these cultural treasures for future generations.
