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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this woodcut print from the 16th century, we witness a legendary scene of King Arthur fearlessly battling a formidable giant. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is the presence of the Virgin Mary, who stands as his protector and guide in this epic encounter. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the moment, with King Arthur wielding his mighty sword against the towering giant. The details in their expressions reveal determination and courage amidst a backdrop of swirling clouds and dramatic lighting. Depicting an iconic figure from British folklore, King Arthur represents strength, chivalry, and honor. His connection to the Virgin Mary adds another layer of symbolism to this artwork - her divine protection signifies his righteousness and virtuous quest for justice. This woodcut print originates from "Chroniques de Bretagne" a renowned collection that chronicles historical events related to Brittany. Created in Paris in 1514, it showcases not only artistic excellence but also serves as an important historical document. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to an era where legends were born. It reminds us of our fascination with tales passed down through generations – stories that continue to inspire us with their timeless themes of heroism and faith.
