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 photograph print showcases the awe-inspiring statue of Perseus, created by the renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, housed in the prestigious Vatican Museums in Rome, Italy. Completed in the year 1801, this masterpiece of Neoclassical art depicts Perseus in a triumphant pose, holding aloft the severed head of the mythical Gorgon Medusa. The intricate carving captures the intense emotion and power of the Greek mythological hero, as he emerges victorious from his legendary encounter with the fearsome Medusa. Perseus, a brave and cunning hero, was renowned for his ability to turn the gaze of Medusa, a monster with the power to petrify anyone who looked at her directly, into stone. With the help of the goddess Athena, he obtained the polished shield of Perseus, which reflected Medusa's reflection instead of his own image, allowing him to behead her. The statue captures the moment of triumph, as Perseus proudly displays the head of Medusa, a symbol of his victory over evil and fear. Canova's sculpture is a testament to the enduring power of Greek mythology and the classical art tradition. The intricate details of the statue, from the lifelike veins on Perseus's arms to the delicate folds of his toga, are a testament to Canova's mastery of the art of carving. This photograph print provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1910s when this image was captured, and allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty of this iconic work of art.
