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.

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 engraving, titled "Martin Luther" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, is a striking representation of the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. Created in 1520, the original oil painting by Cranach is one of the earliest known portraits of Luther, capturing him in the prime of his life as a professor of theology, composer, priest, and monk. Born in 1483 in Saxony, Germany, Luther's ideas and actions would forever change the course of Western Christianity. In 1517, he published his Ninety-Five Theses, challenging the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences and sparking a theological debate that would lead to the Reformation. This engraving, produced in 1884 by Theodor Knesing, offers a detailed and precise rendition of Cranach's original work. Luther is depicted wearing the black robe and white cowl of a Dominican friar, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. His left hand rests on a tome, symbolizing his deep knowledge and commitment to the study of the Bible. The engraving's intricate details and fine lines showcase Knesing's skill as a master engraver. The background features a landscape with a winding river, a bridge, and a castle, adding depth and visual interest to the composition. Martin Luther's impact on European history is immeasurable, and this engraving offers a glimpse into the life and persona of this influential figure during a pivotal moment in history. As a professor, theologian, composer, and reformer, Luther's legacy continues to shape the religious and intellectual landscape of the Western world.
