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
The Parable of the Seed," a captivating artwork from the 17th century, presents a visual interpretation of a biblical narrative found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew, Chapter 13, Verses 1-23. This masterpiece, created around 1688, is a testament to the timeless storytelling power of symbols and parables. The painting, by an unknown artist, depicts Jesus in the midst of a crowd, delivering the parable of the sower to his disciples and the people gathered around him. The parable describes a farmer sowing seeds in a field, with some seeds falling on different types of ground, resulting in varying degrees of growth. The farmer in the painting is shown in profile, casting seeds from a pouch, as the disciples and onlookers listen intently, their expressions reflecting curiosity and wonder. The agricultural setting of the parable serves as a powerful metaphor for the spreading of God's word and the different ways it can take root and grow in people's hearts. The various types of soil represent the varying receptivity of people to the message, with some hearts being hardened, others receiving the word with joy, and others bearing fruit in abundance. This beautiful and symbolic artwork, with its intricate details and rich storytelling, invites us to reflect on the power of the word of God and the importance of being receptive to it. It is a visual reminder of the transformative potential of faith and the importance of nurturing it in our own lives.
