17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
This scraper board rendering of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) showcases the intricate details and expressive qualities of the Baroque music composer's face. The date of creation for this anonymous artwork is unknown, adding to the enigma surrounding its origin. Scraper board art is a unique and labor-intensive technique in which an image is created by scraping away the white chalk coating on a blackened board, revealing the contrasting tones. Bach, a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period, is renowned for his innovative and influential compositions. He is considered one of the greatest composers in Western music history, known for his intricate and expressive works, including over 1,000 known compositions. Bach's music spanned various genres, including orchestral suites, cantatas, and organ and keyboard music. His most famous works include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Mass in B minor, and the Goldberg Variations. Despite the unknown origin of this scraper board rendering, it beautifully captures the intensity and depth of Bach's character. The artist's skillful use of contrasting tones and intricate details brings Bach's face to life, revealing the profound emotion and creativity that defined his musical legacy. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Bach's music and the artistry of the anonymous artist who brought this rendering to life.
