Vintage 1950’s Apostolic Blessing Pope Pius XII Catholic Wall Art Painting

Description

This is a beautiful piece of art even if you’re not Catholic.  Except for the image of Pope Pius XII, everything is handwritten or hand painted.  It has a great mid century color combination with turquoise, white, reflective gold, and an amber red.  It has the embossed seal, however it did not come through as strong as other examples I’ve seen.  The good news, though, is that the signatures are handwritten as opposed to stamped.  The signatures are of Diego Venini, and an archbishop Adanen that I’ve been unable to find anything about.
It’s in a period wood frame a bit over 14” x 18” with a gilt finish and glass front.  It has appropriate wear, complete with the original back paper with a bunch of rips.
If you don’t want the frame, I can save you money on shipping by removing the Apostolic Blessing and shipping it between cardboard.  Since I wouldn’t need to protect the glass, the postage cost would be less.
