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.

1. Title: Neptune's Majestic Ride: A Detailed Exploration of the Roman Mosaic at the Baths of Neptune, Ostia Antica, Italy 2. Discover the captivating allure of ancient Rome as we delve into the intricacies of a beautifully preserved Roman mosaic, depicting Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, gracefully riding a chariot at the Baths of Neptune in Ostia Antica, Italy. 3. Dating back to the Imperial Roman era, this exquisite mosaic, with its tesserae (individual pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials) meticulously arranged, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the Roman civilization. 4. Neptune, identified by his iconic trident, is shown in regal splendor, his muscular form poised with an air of authority as he rides his chariot, pulled by two powerful hippocampi, mythical sea creatures with the body of a horse and the tail of a fish. 5. The Baths of Neptune, a grand architectural complex dedicated to the god of the sea, were once a popular destination for the ancient Romans seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The mosaic, a significant part of the complex's decorative elements, has survived the test of time, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Rome. 6. The mosaic's intricate design, with its vibrant colors and precise details, is a testament to the Roman Empire's enduring legacy. The age-old paviment (floor mosaic) continues to captivate visitors to Ostia Antica, an archaeological site located in the Italian region of Latium, just a short distance from Rome. 7. As we marvel at the intricacies of this Roman mosaic, we are transported back to an era of imperial grandeur, mythological tales, and the unyielding power of the Roman Empire. The Baths of Neptune and its magnificent mosaic stand as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Rome, inviting us to explore the depths of its history and mythology.
