Sacred icons hand-painted in Italy for Latin America
Latin America is home to some of the largest Lebanese and Syrian communities in the world, of Antiochian and Maronite tradition, and to millions of descendants of Italian emigrants. For these families an icon hand-painted in Italy joins faith and origins.
The Christian East in Latin America
- In São Paulo the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral, of Antiochian tradition, inspired by Hagia Sophia in Constantinople.
- In Mexico City the Maronite cathedral of Our Lady of Balvanera, a landmark for the Lebanese community.
- In Buenos Aires the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, overlooking Parque Lezama.
For families and collectors
An icon of the Mother of God for a family home, the patron saint for a baptism or a wedding, a fine-art work for a sacred art collection: every icon is unique, painted entirely by hand and fully gilded with 23¾ karat gold.
Madonna dei Martiri
Mother of God with red halo.
The Holy Face
Humanity's journey towards eternity.
Commissioning and shipping
Consultations take place online, in English or Italian. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with protective packaging and, on request, insured shipping, together with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and its explanatory booklet. Shipping conditions and any customs formalities are checked case by case at the time of commission.
