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
King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598), one of the most powerful monarchs of European history, is depicted in this stunning Renaissance portrait painted by Alonso Sánchez Coello (1531-1588) in the late 16th century. The oil on canvas painting, a masterpiece of the Cinquecento period, captures the regal presence and somber demeanor of the king. Born in the Spanish province of Flanders, Philip ascended to the throne of Castile in 1556 and later unified the Spanish monarchy in 1559, ruling over a vast empire that included Spain, the Low Countries, Naples, Sicily, and Peru. Philip is best known for his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and his efforts to counter the Protestant Reformation. In this portrait, Philip is shown wearing the royal mantle and collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, symbolizing his position as the grand master of the order. The king's serious expression and the dark background create an aura of solemnity and authority. The meticulous attention to detail in the painting, from the intricate folds of the king's robe to the lifelike rendering of his facial features, underscores the artistic mastery of Alonso Sánchez Coello. The painting is a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange between Spain and Italy during the Renaissance period, as well as the influence of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty on European art. It is currently housed in the Aisa (Art Institute of Chicago) collection and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of European art and the life of one of the most influential monarchs of all time.
