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 votive relief, dating back to around 560 BC, showcases three graceful and radiant women known as the Charites or Graces, who were revered as goddesses of beauty and joyfulness in ancient Greek civilization. Discovered in Greece during the Archaic period, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. The Charites, depicted here as young, elegant women, are often shown dancing in unison, symbolizing harmony and unity. Their joyful expressions and graceful movements reflect the essence of their divine roles. Each woman holds an attribute that represents a different aspect of grace: Aglaia holds a crown, Euphrosyne carries a cornucopia, and Thalia holds a pomegranate. The intricate details of their drapery, adorned with intricate patterns and folds, exemplify the advanced craftsmanship of the Archaic period. The relief's style demonstrates the transition from the geometric and abstract styles of the Archaic period to the more naturalistic and figurative styles of the Classical period. This ancient work of art not only serves as a testament to the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks but also offers a glimpse into their mythology and cultural values. The Charites, with their eternal beauty and joyfulness, continue to captivate and inspire art lovers around the world.
