Saint Monica

Mother of Saint Augustine

Monica lived in North Africa in the fourth century, married to a pagan husband who came to faith before his death. For many years she prayed and wept for her son Augustine, who was living far from the Church, and followed him to Italy. She saw him baptised in Milan and died soon afterwards at Ostia. She is commemorated on 4 May and is a comfort to parents praying for their children. This Museum Edition faithfully reproduces the icon on a flat panel with a gold foil background.

This is an authentic icon crafted according to Byzantine technique and style. All parts are made by hand and only the theme is reproduced using Advanced Museum Standards Technique.

Once the natural wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the Gold Foil on the background. Then the theme is directly printed on the prepared surface, resulting to an exquisite work of art.

At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo.

A thorough quality inspection takes place before we secure the package with durable protective materials to ensure safe delivery.

Each icon is made to order. Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive the retail receipt and the tracking information via email.
