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 exquisite 16th century print depicts St. Luke, the renowned Greek physician of Antioch and the alleged author of the third Gospel of the New Testament and the Acts of the Apostles. St. Luke is often depicted in art holding a painting palette and a book, symbolizing his dual roles as an artist and a writer. In this image, he is shown in the act of painting, demonstrating his skill as a physician and an artist. St. Luke is believed to have accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys and is considered the first physician in the New Testament. He is also known as the "beloved physician," reflecting his compassionate nature and healing abilities. The inscription at the bottom of the print reads "Sanctus Lucas," meaning "Holy Luke," further emphasizing his saintly status. The Arts Somptuaires, or "Luxurious Arts," were a group of artists, engravers, and publishers active in Paris during the 16th and 17th centuries. They were known for producing high-quality prints, often featuring religious and mythological themes. This print of St. Luke is a prime example of their masterful craftsmanship, with intricate details and rich colors that bring the saint to life. The historical significance of St. Luke extends beyond his role as a physician and author. He is also considered the patron saint of artists, students, and butchers. His legacy continues to inspire and influence art, literature, and culture to this day. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring appeal of St. Luke's story and the artistic skill of the Arts Somptuaires.
