FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 evocative image captures the penitent Flagellants of Coimbra, Portugal, circa 1560, as they publicly atone for their sins through self-flagellation. Belonging to the Jesuit Order, these religious figures were known for their high lifestyle and extravagance, which led to widespread criticism and calls for public repentance. The Flagellants, dressed in their distinctive robes and hoods, can be seen in various stages of the penitential procession, each man inflicting pain upon himself with a flagellant's whip or other instruments of self-punishment. Their faces are contorted in expressions of intense devotion and suffering, as they seek to purify their souls and seek forgiveness from God. The scene unfolds in the bustling streets of Coimbra, a city known for its rich history and religious fervor. The crowd that has gathered to witness the spectacle is a mix of onlookers, some with expressions of awe and reverence, others with looks of curiosity or disdain. The Flagellants, undeterred by the attention, continue their procession, determined to complete their penance and seek redemption. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the complex and often contradictory nature of religious devotion during the late medieval period. The Flagellants' extreme acts of self-punishment were both a source of inspiration and controversy, reflecting the deep spiritual convictions and the societal tensions of the time. The image also underscores the importance of public displays of piety and the role of religious orders in shaping the spiritual and moral landscape of European society during the Renaissance era.
