17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 image depicts the poignant moment of reunification between the goddesses Persephone (Proserpina) and Demeter (Ceres) in ancient Greek mythology. Persephone, the beautiful queen of the underworld, is shown here being embraced by her mother Demeter, the goddess of the harvest and fertility. The scene represents the annual cycle of growth and decay in the natural world, as well as the deep bond between a mother and her daughter. According to the myth, Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, and became his queen. Each year, as the days grew shorter and the temperatures dropped, Demeter, in her grief, neglected her duties, causing the earth to wither and the crops to fail. The gods, fearing famine, intervened and negotiated a deal: Persephone could return to her mother for six months of the year, bringing renewed life and growth to the land. This print, a stunning example of classical art, captures the emotional depth and historical significance of this timeless myth. The intricate details of the goddesses' robes, the delicate folds of their fabric, and the expressive gestures of their bodies all serve to bring the story to life. The lush greenery and vibrant colors of the scene contrast sharply with the barren, monochromatic underworld, highlighting the stark contrast between the realms of life and death. The myth of Persephone and Demeter has been told and retold for centuries, inspiring countless works of art, literature, and music. It continues to resonate with us today, reminding us of the cyclical nature of life and the enduring power of love and maternal bonds.
