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
1. Title: "St. John of Nepomuk: A Martyr's Legacy on the Charles Bridge, Prague" This evocative relief depicts St. John of Nepomuk (1345-1393), the national saint of the Czech Republic, commemorating the tragic event that led to his beatification and eventual canonization. The intricately designed artwork, situated on the iconic Charles Bridge in Prague, recounts the story of this revered priest who was martyred during the tumultuous 14th century. The relief showcases St. John of Nepomuk, dressed in his priestly attire, standing calmly at the edge of the Vltava River. His aura, signified by the golden aureole and halo, radiates an ethereal light, emphasizing his holiness. The iron crucifix in his hand symbolizes his unwavering faith and devotion to his religious beliefs. Surrounding St. John, stars adorn the relief, adding to the celestial atmosphere. These stars represent his heavenly connection and the divine intervention that is believed to have occurred during his martyrdom. The relief's intricate details, including the decorative banisters and wrought ironwork, reflect the artistic mastery of the medieval era. The story of St. John of Nepomuk began when he refused to betray the confessions of Queen Sophia of Bohemia to King Wenceslas IV. In retaliation, the king ordered St. John to be thrown into the Vltava River. The saint's body was later found unharmed, and his miraculous survival further solidified his reputation as a saint. This relief serves as a testament to the rich history and religious significance of Prague and the Czech Republic. It is a reminder of the courage and faith of St. John of Nepomuk, who continues to inspire generations with his unwavering commitment to his beliefs.
