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.

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
The Turtle Fountain, an exquisite masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, was created between 1580 and 1588 by the skilled hands of Giacomo Della Porta (1533-1602) and Taddeo Landini (1561-1596). This magnificent work of art is located in Rome, Italy, and showcases the intricate details of the 16th century's artistic prowess. At the heart of this fountain lies a life-sized turtle, meticulously crafted from bronze, its shell and limbs displaying a remarkable level of realism. The turtle's serene expression and the gentle curve of its body create an enchanting contrast to the dynamic energy of the surrounding elements. Perched atop the turtle's back is a bronze ephebe, a youthful male figure from Greek mythology. The ephebe, with his muscular form and graceful pose, raises his hand to control the flow of water from the fountain's spout. The water cascades down, forming a mesmerizing display as it meets the basin below. Surrounding the turtle and ephebe are playful putti, or cherubs, who add an element of whimsy and delight to the scene. The Turtle Fountain is a testament to the artistic vision and technical skill of its creators, and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy during the Renaissance era. The intricate details of the turtle's shell, the ephebe's muscular form, and the lifelike expressions of the putti all come together to create a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day.
