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.

1. Title: "A New Encounter with Ancient History: The Exterior of the Museum of the Ara Pacis in Rome by Richard Meier" The captivating image before you showcases the exterior of the Museum of the Ara Pacis in Rome, a contemporary architectural marvel designed by the esteemed American architect, Richard Meier. Built in the late 20th century, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of modern and ancient elements. The Museum, dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of the ancient Ara Pacis Augustae altar, is a significant historical site in its own right. The original Ara Pacis, a Roman altar dedicated to peace and the goddess Pax, was erected in 9 BC to celebrate the peace and security brought by Emperor Augustus. Richard Meier's design for the museum, completed in 2006, is a stunning juxtaposition of old and new. The exterior, predominantly made of glass and steel, creates a transparent and open space, inviting visitors to engage with the historical artifact within. The glass walls reflect and refract the light, casting intriguing patterns on the museum's surroundings, while the steel structure provides a sturdy and modern contrast to the ancient ruins nearby. The Museum of the Ara Pacis is not just a building; it is a living testament to the enduring power of history and the innovative spirit of contemporary architecture. Meier's design offers a unique and captivating perspective on the ancient altar, allowing visitors to appreciate both the historical significance and the architectural beauty of this remarkable site. As you explore the image, take a moment to appreciate the delicate balance between the past and the present, as well as the skillful integration of glass, steel, and history in this extraordinary architectural creation.
