Atentik.com and Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML) Drop of all 20 St Francis Xavier Paintings
On Friday 10th December Atentik and Santa Casa will drop all 20 paintings from the collection of paintings by Portuguese proto-baroque painter André Reinoso (c.1590-1641) and his collaborators. This collection of 20 paintings features the blessing of the Pope and the submission of St Francis Xavier to the Church of Rome. These paintings were placed on the Sacristy of the Church of St. Roch in 1619, three years before the official canonization of St. Francis Xavier on the 12th of March 1622, and were part of immense religious ‘propaganda’ about the life and the work of the great Jesuit missionary, and in order to speed up the process of canonization by the Catholic Church.
Each painting is limited to 100 editions or mints ever. The first mint will remain at Santa Casa with the other 99 editions available on our marketplace Artentik.com for a fixed price of €900
