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
Ancient Wall Mosaics with Portraits of Saints and Martyrs: A Glimpse into the Religious Art of the 5th Century This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases a collection of ancient wall mosaics from the San Vittore Chapel in Milan, Italy. Dating back to the 5th century, these mosaics are a remarkable testament to the artistic and religious traditions of the Roman Catholic Church during the early Christian era. The top portion of the mosaic features the portraits of Saints Gervasius, Ambrosius, and Protasius. Their serene expressions and intricate halos convey a sense of otherworldly reverence. The saints are depicted in traditional Roman attire, with Gervasius and Ambrosius wearing togas, and Protasius donning a tunic and mantle. The three saints are believed to have been martyred in Milan during the 4th century and are revered as the city's patron saints. The lower portion of the mosaic unveils the portraits of Saints Felix, Maternus, and Nabor. Their calm and contemplative expressions further emphasize the spiritual significance of the artwork. The saints are depicted in similar attire to the ones above, with Felix and Maternus wearing togas, while Nabor is shown in a tunic and mantle. These saints are also believed to have been martyred in Milan during the same period and are venerated for their unwavering faith and devotion. This engraving, created by Pietro Giarrè for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a unique glimpse into the religious art of the 5th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the mosaics serve as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Milan and the Roman Catholic Church.
