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
Piazza Navona, a vibrant square in the heart of Rome, Italy, is home to one of the city's most iconic landmarks: Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers. This stunning masterpiece, completed in 1651, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Baroque period. The fountain's centerpiece is a magnificent sculpture of the Nile River, represented as a muscular figure with a covered head. At the time this photograph was taken in 1927, the source of the Nile was still a mystery to Europeans, adding an intriguing layer of historical significance to the figure's veiled visage. The Fountain of the Four Rivers is a breathtaking display of stonework and water engineering. Bernini expertly crafted the figures of the Danube, Ganges, and Plate rivers, each representing the major waterways that flowed through Europe and Asia at the time. The intricate details of the statues and the dynamic interplay of water and stone create a captivating visual experience. Piazza Navona, with its unique oval shape, was designed by Bernini himself and serves as the perfect backdrop for this architectural and artistic marvel. The square's charming ambiance, with its colorful buildings and lively atmosphere, adds to the allure of this iconic fountain. This photograph, taken in 1927, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers. The figure of the Nile, with its covered head, remains an intriguing enigma, inviting us to explore the mysteries of the past and the enduring allure of Rome's artistic treasures.
