Description
Throughout Italy, there are shrines to various saints on very public walls. When I was a kid my aunt Ann used to point out a shrine in front of a home in Hartford, Connecticut. She would tell me that the man who lived there took care of his mother. The mother became very ill and the man prayed to Saint Anthony pleading for the saint to intercede on his mother's behalf. He promised Saint Anthony that if his mother recovered he would build a shrine in the saint's honor and that was what happened. That was why there was a shrine to Saint Anthony in front of this house. At the time I was very impressed and in awe of such magic. In fact, I began to pray to Saint Anthony myself until one day when I asked my aunt what had become of the mother. She told me that woman had died. I was more than disappointed. In the shrine shown, there is a very sophisticated painting of Mary, the Madonna. The painting is protected by a sheet of glass and surrounded by this sunburst adorned with putti. A remarkable site to us that; yet in these environs it is quite common. I tried to read who the artist was on the tag adjacent the shrine without success. I was able to read the lower sign which reads Divieto di Affissione, post no bills.
One of a Kind
You can purchase a one of a kind, original print of this image directly from the artist by contacting me via email. The picture is signed and the mat has a hand drawn remarque in graphite. The paper and inks are archival and the printing is done under my direct supervision.
An original print is one on which I have personally supervised the process. It is printed on archival paper using archival inks. I hand sign the piece and draw a remarque on the mat that in some way reflects the original image. This small original drawing adds aesthetic interest as well as value to the print. In the case of " Divieto di Affissione" I might draw a putto or some other related object in graphite.
An original print is a higher value collector's piece because of the additional care and handling. It differs from the prints that are sold by Fine Art America by virtue of the quality of materials, the signature and the remarque. Its increased value to the collector is in its one of a kind status.
I frame the image using gallery molding - clean, square wood molding in either black, white, natural or walnut stain. It has a contemporary look that gives the piece a professional finish.
Shipping & Handling are based on zipcode. I can give you a specific price when I know the destination. The size of the image is 24x36. The mat and frame add to the size. The finished piece is approximately 30x40.
