Pope Innocentius X * Kynsey

Description:

Pope Innocent X
The portrait skilfully executed on this pen is taken from a painting by Diego Velazquez depicting Pope Innocent X. The Russian artist has not only faithfully reproduced this well-known portrait with consummate skill, but he has also captured the minute details of the Pope's face and the perfect draping of his robes. This truly breathtaking work of art is the only pen of its kind in the world. Not to be missed!

Velazquez (1599-1660), the court painter to King Philip IV, was inspired by the work of Titian and Rubens. Velazquez had a feel for subtle variations of incident light, colour nuances and shadows, but his artistry can most clearly be seen in the expression of the eyes of the people he paints and the delicate lines around the mouth.

Since 2004 the Kynsey company has been producing pens that bespeak determination, passion and precision. Antonio Sanchez is indeed passionate about his search for the perfect piece of craftsmanship, a "job well done". Of course, this search for perfection entails a complicated and difficult process that involves many different people in different countries. Kynsey pens are masterpieces in the exquisite Russian Lacquer Art style. But Kynsey pens are not just writing instruments. They are precious collector's items that will be passed on from generation to generation and will continue to be admired throughout the 21st century not only as functional instruments but also as unique decorative objects that are eye-catching in any surroundings.
