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.

The Calling of Peter and Andrew
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by the renowned Sienese painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created around 1310 for the predella of the Cathedral at Siena. This exquisite work of art, dating from the early 14th century, showcases the pivotal moment when Jesus called the brothers Peter and Andrew to become his disciples. Duccio brilliantly captures the essence of this biblical narrative, as Jesus stands at the water's edge, beckoning the two fishermen with an outstretched hand. Their eyes are fixed on him, their faces filled with curiosity and wonder. In the background, their empty fishing boat and discarded net symbolize their former life, while the boat laden with other disciples in the foreground represents their newfound commitment to follow Jesus. The brothers' simple yet elegant attire, along with the vibrant colors and intricate details, highlight Duccio's exceptional painting skills. The serene water, the gentle reflection of the sky, and the lush landscape surrounding the scene add depth and a sense of tranquility to the composition. Duccio's "The Calling of Peter and Andrew" is a testament to the power of religious art in the 14th century. It not only illustrates the biblical story but also serves as a visual reminder of the transformative power of faith and the importance of answering the call to serve a higher purpose. This iconic work continues to captivate viewers with its beauty, detail, and enduring message.
