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
The Madonna del Gatto," or "Madonna of the Cat," is a captivating masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Federico Barocci, painted around 1575. This exquisite work of art depicts the Virgin Mary, holding the infant Jesus, in a tender and loving embrace. The serene expression on Mary's face conveys a deep sense of maternal devotion, while the gentle gaze of the young Jesus reveals his divine wisdom beyond his years. Intriguingly, the painting is named for the curious presence of a cat, delicately perched on a ledge behind the holy family. Some art historians believe that the cat symbolizes the protection and watchfulness of the Virgin Mary, while others suggest that it may represent the humility and simplicity of the domestic scene. Barocci's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the intimate and sacred space of the painting. The intricate details of the clothing and textures, as well as the delicate rendering of the cat's fur, showcase Barocci's exceptional skill as a painter. The Madonna del Gatto is a beautiful example of the Italian Renaissance style, with its focus on naturalism, idealized forms, and intricate detail. The painting's composition, with the Madonna and Child positioned in the center, surrounded by the adoring figures of St. John the Baptist and St. Joseph, creates a sense of harmony and balance. This exquisite work of art, with its timeless beauty and intriguing symbolism, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period.
