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
Johann Tserclaes, Freiherr von Tilly: A Flemish Military Commander in the Imperial Service (1559-1632) This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and resolute demeanor of Johann Tserclaes, Freiherr von Tilly, a renowned military commander in the service of the Holy Roman Empire during the tumultuous 17th century. Born in Flanders, Tilly rose to prominence under the auspices of Emperor Ferdinand II, becoming a pivotal figure in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Tilly's military career began in earnest when he joined the Spanish army in 1597. He distinguished himself in various battles against the French and Dutch, earning the title of Baron in 1605. In 1617, Tilly entered the imperial service, leading the Imperial Army to victory at the Battle of Sablat in 1626. His strategic prowess and unwavering loyalty to the Habsburg cause earned him the favor of Emperor Ferdinand II, who appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army in 1627. Tilly's tenure as commander-in-chief was marked by a series of significant victories, including the Battle of Rain in 1632. However, his successes were not without controversy. Tilly's ruthless tactics and the devastation wrought upon the battlefields raised concerns among some of his contemporaries, who accused him of excessive cruelty. Despite these criticisms, Tilly's military accomplishments cemented his place in history as a formidable commander. His legacy continues to be studied by military historians and scholars, providing valuable insights into the complexities of the Thirty Years' War and the broader political and military landscape of early modern Europe. This evocative portrait, with its intricate detail and richly textured fabric, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of European history. The portrait's somber background and Tilly's penetrating gaze serve as a reminder of the weighty responsibilities and high stakes that defined his military career.
