Dutch Explorer Naval Officer Spanish

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

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 print showcases the remarkable Jacob van Heemskerk, a renowned Dutch naval officer and explorer from the late 16th century. With an intense gaze and an air of determination, he embodies the spirit of adventure and discovery that defined his era. Jacob van Heemskerk is best known for his audacious quest to find a Northeast Passage to China in 1595. Undeterred by treacherous waters and unknown territories, he fearlessly led expeditions in search of this elusive route. His unwavering dedication to exploration pushed the boundaries of maritime knowledge during a time when much of the world remained uncharted. Tragically, Jacob van Heemskerk met his untimely demise at Gibraltar after achieving a momentous victory against the Spanish fleet.

Preserved through time in this contemporary engraving, we are granted a glimpse into Jacob van Heemskerk's heroic exploits and indomitable spirit. The image captures both his strength as an officer leading men into battle and his curiosity as an explorer venturing into uncharted territories.
