FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 image showcases the Emblems of the Evangelists and The Passion, as beautifully illustrated in the renowned Book of Kells. Dating back to around 800 AD, this exquisite manuscript is a prime example of the rich artistic heritage of the early Christian world. The central focus of the composition is the depiction of the four winged creatures, each symbolizing one of the four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The symbols are arranged clockwise from the top left, with Matthew represented by a winged man, Mark by a winged lion, John by a winged eagle, and Luke by a winged ox. These symbols have been a consistent feature in Christian art and decoration since the early centuries of the faith. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of the illustrations in the Book of Kells are a testament to the skill and dedication of the monastic scribes who created it. The manuscript's decorations are not only visually stunning but also deeply symbolic, reflecting the profound spiritual significance of the Gospels and the New Testament. The Passion, the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is alluded to in the background of the image, emphasizing the connection between the Evangelists and the events they recorded. This powerful and evocative image is a reminder of the enduring influence of the Gospels on Christian art, theology, and spirituality. The Book of Kells is a treasure of the early Christian tradition and a source of inspiration for artists, theologians, and scholars alike. This image offers a glimpse into the rich symbolism and artistic mastery of this remarkable manuscript, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of the Christian message.
