For sacred art collectors
A gift for a sacred art collector
Giving something to a collector is hard: they already know what they have, what they seek and what they do not want. A contemporary fine-art icon, from a recognisable school and documented at every stage, is one of the few gifts a sacred art collector truly welcomes.
What a collector looks for in an icon
- A recognisable hand and a school: Concetta Basile is the granddaughter and direct pupil of the master Lia Galdiolo.
- An attestation: Concetta's iconographic ministry is attested by the Archimandrite, monk and hermit Father Alessio Mandanikiotis.
- Traditional materials: 23¾ karat gold leaf, egg tempera, a gessoed panel.
- Documentation: photographs of every stage and a certificate of authenticity on real parchment.
The Holy Face
Humanity's journey towards eternity.
Saint Joseph the Nourisher
A newly conceived icon.
How to choose the subject for a collection
You can start from the collection itself: a missing subject, a feast of the liturgical cycle, a saint linked to the collector's place of origin, a newly conceived icon. Every icon is commissioned with an offering proportionate to the time and materials of the work, and arrives with a certificate of authenticity on real parchment, photographs of every stage and a booklet explaining its meaning.
