About the icon
The Duke and Monastic Confessor
A cousin of Charlemagne, William served as Count of Toulouse and defended the Frankish realm in battle. In later life he founded the monastery of Gellone, now Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, and entered it himself as a humble monk, reposing there in 812. He is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church of the West. Icons show him in monastic dress. He is commemorated on 28 May. Painted entirely by hand in tempera, this original is set on a recessed panel with a 24k gold leaf background.
This is a 100% Handwritten artwork crafted according to Byzantine technique and style, totally painted by hand with 24 karats Gold Leaves background. Once the theme is painted by our skilled craftsmen, a mounting point and the Certificate of Authenticity and Quality are installed at the back of the icon.

First, the icon of Saint William of Gellone is absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations. It is intended as a gift to our parish priest, Father William, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. I know he will enjoy and appreciate it very much.
Second, the entire customer experience with Agiografica was outstanding! My order was processed and shipped in less than 24 hours. And it arrived at my house in the suburbs of New York in three days! The icon was packaged so carefully and securely that there was little chance of damage in transit.
I was extremely impressed with Agiografica and will definitely use them again should the need arise. I do not hesitate in giving them my highest recommendation!
