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.

Sunset and Ruins
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative oil painting by George Barret, Sr. (1728/32-1784), showcasing the breathtaking beauty of a sunset over ancient ruins. The painting, created in the mid-18th century, is a testament to Barret's mastery of light and color, as well as his ability to evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection. The scene is set in a tranquil, pastoral landscape, with the sun casting a warm, golden glow over the ruins of a once-grand structure. The crumbling stones, overgrown with moss and vines, stand in stark contrast to the vibrant, fiery hues of the sunset. The sky is filled with swirling clouds, tinged with pink, orange, and red, as the sun begins its descent below the horizon. Barret's use of oil paints allows him to capture the intricate details of the ruins, from the textured stones to the intricate carvings and ornate columns. The painting's rich colors and bold brushstrokes create a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene and inviting them to explore the history and mystery of the ruins. The title "Sunset and Ruins" suggests a sense of loss and nostalgia, as the beauty of the sunset serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the passage of time. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the past and contemplate the transience of human achievements. George Barret, Sr. was an Irish painter who studied under the renowned artist William Verstegen in London. He is known for his landscapes and seascapes, which often feature dramatic lighting and a sense of melancholy. "Sunset and Ruins" is a prime example of his skill and artistic vision, and remains a beloved work of art over 200 years after it was created.
