Nelson Mandela
The Church - Mandela, Former South African President, Signed Art, Robben Island

2002

About the Item

Nelson Mandela, The Church, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. In 2002, when creating the The Church print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired. The symbolism of the church is important as having a place in which to practice and enjoy religious and spiritual freedom. Although prisoners could never enter the church to practice their faith it remained a powerful spiritual symbol to many, including Nelson Mandela. `The Church’ is another of the few sketches in the Robben Island Series where colour has been used throughout, again indicating the powerful spiritual meaning the church had to Nelson Mandela and his fellow inmates. An edition of 500 lithographs was launched on Robben Island in 2003 and very few remain available.

  • Balmoral - Signed Lithograph, Royal Art, Royal Homes, Balmoral Castle, British
    By Charles (Prince of Wales)
    Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh
    Balmoral by His Majesty King Charles III (formerly known as HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales) - Hand Signed Limited Edition Lithograph. Belgravia Gallery has been honoured to be associated with the artworks of HRH The Prince of Wales for over 25 years. Anna Hunter, gallery owner, wrote a handwritten letter to the Prince asking him if he would consider making signed lithographs from his beautiful watercolours which could be sold in aid of his charities. The gallery subsequently worked with the Prince for over 10 years publishing some 18 different editions and raising over £4million for the Prince’s Charitable Foundation. Lithographs were made from the Prince’s original watercolours under the guidance of Stanley Jones – a celebrated printmaker who had previously worked with Henry Moore for 30 years, and with Elizabeth Frink, David Hockney and others. Each one is hand-signed. “…One thing I have discovered in the course of my painting efforts is that Balmoral Castle...
