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.

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 ancient Roman sarcophagus, dating back to approximately 140 AD, is a stunning testament to the rich mythology and artistic prowess of the Roman Empire. The intricately carved relief depicts the Marriage of Dionysus and Ariadne, a beloved mythological tale from Greek and Roman mythology. At the center of the scene, Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, is depicted in a carriage, adorned with a veil and a crown, signifying her status as a bride. The god Dionysus, identified by his ivy crown and thyrsus staff, stands before her, ready to take her as his spouse. The god of wine, fertility, and revelry, Dionysus is accompanied by his divine retinue, including Bacchantes, Maenads, Satyrs, and Centaurs. The Bacchantes, the female followers of Dionysus, are shown in a frenzied dance, their ecstatic expressions and wild hair reflecting their intoxicated state. The Centaurs, half-human, half-horse creatures, are shown in various poses, some celebrating, others participating in the hunt. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of Panther, a symbol of Dionysus, and Bassarids, the sacred attendants of the god. This masterpiece of ancient art was discovered in Rome and is now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its intricate details and timeless beauty. The Marriage of Dionysus and Ariadne is a celebration of love, divinity, and the power of mythology, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the classical world.
