Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too! - Janet T., Sheffield
Gothic mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
The full carved panel introduces a strong sense of historical character, making it well suited to studies, libraries, or interiors with a heritage or gothic influence. Its structured composition and aged stone tones allow it to sit comfortably within traditional settings, offering a distinctive and thought-provoking focal point.
Inside St Martin’s Church in Burton Agnes, the table tomb of Sir Walter Griffith, who died in 1487, is adorned with a dense arrangement of carved skulls and bones. This form of decoration reflects the medieval concept of memento mori, a reminder of mortality intended to encourage reflection on faith and the transient nature of life. Such imagery was often incorporated into church monuments of the late 15th century, combining skilled craftsmanship with symbolic meaning that would have been widely understood at the time.
In this image, the full panel of carvings is presented within its stone frame, revealing the layered composition in its entirety. The overlapping forms of skulls and bones create a structured yet intricate design, with subtle shifts in tone emphasising depth and age. The surrounding architectural border anchors the scene, while natural light brings out the texture and detail, reflecting the precision of the original artwork.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Very prompt service, good communication, arrived when promised, lovely item! Would definitely use in the future!
