Sacred icons hand-painted in Italy for Netherlands
The Netherlands has an old and refined collecting culture and a lively interest in the icon: in Kampen a museum is devoted entirely to icons, and in Utrecht the Museum Catharijneconvent keeps the Christian art of the country.
The icon in the Netherlands
- The Ikonenmuseum in Kampen, in a 17th-century monastery, devoted entirely to icons from Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Ethiopia.
- The Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht, the great museum of Dutch Christian art.
- The Russian, Greek, Serbian and Romanian Orthodox communities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague.
For Dutch collectors
For collectors, a contemporary fine-art icon is a work documented at every stage, with a certificate of authenticity on real parchment: a coherent addition to a collection of antique icons or sacred art.
Saviour of the Fiery Eye
The gaze of Christ, judge and saviour.
Library
Icon among the books at home.
