Open imageConstantine and the Vision of the Cross (Reduction for His All-Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew)
Petrides was commissioned to create a presentation piece for the apostolic visit of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to the United States. The gold work pictured here is held by the Patriarchate in Istanbul. The subject carries deep resonance: the Patriarchate is in present-day Istanbul, historic Constantinople, which Constantine refounded from ancient Byzantion and inaugurated as an imperial capital in AD 330.
The Patriarchate subsequently commissioned a second, larger version fabricated in recycled PETG, consistent with the longstanding environmental advocacy of His All-Holiness.
