23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the moment when Death enters a humble cottage, shrouded in darkness and carrying off the family's youngest child. The scene is rendered in exquisite detail through a handcolored engraving by Chretien de Mechel, based on original drawings by Peter Paul Rubens for Hans Holbein's The Triumph of Death.
The skeletal figure of Death looms ominously over the grieving mother and her other children, who are frozen in fear at the sight of their beloved sibling being taken away. The sense of loss and despair is palpable as the family's meal sits untouched on the table, a stark reminder of the suddenness and finality of death.
Through this powerful composition, we are reminded of our own mortality and the fragility of life. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its depiction of a universal theme but also in its connection to renowned artists such as Rubens and Holbein.
As we gaze upon this poignant scene, we are confronted with our own fears and anxieties about what lies beyond this earthly realm. It serves as a timeless reminder to cherish our loved ones while we can, for Death spares no one in its relentless march through history.
