Artentik: Santa Casa Drop Goes Live on December 1
[21/12/01]
LISBON, Dec 1, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - On Wednesday, December 1, Artentik, the digital marketplace for SCML, is dropping the world's first religious relics in the form of Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFTs) for the 500-year-old social enterprise organisation and keeper of the Museum and Church of Sao Roque in Lisbon, and houses one of the most important religious collections in Catholic Europe.
Artentik is SCML's curated platform to share digital twins of its treasures and encourage living artists to also sell their works as NFTs. This will enable SCML to monetize and promote its unique cultural heritage to the world while continuing its extensive 500-year support to social causes.
St Francis Xavier
The theme of the first drop celebrates St Francis Xavier, (7 April 1506 - 3 December 1552), who was a Navarrese Catholic missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). He was a companion of Ignatius of Loyola and one of the first seven Jesuits who took vows of poverty and chastity at Montmartre, Paris in 1534. He led an extensive mission into Asia, mainly in the Portuguese Empire of the time and was influential in evangelization work, most notably in India.
He was beatified by Pope Paul V on 25 October 1619 and canonized by Pope Gregory XV on 12 March 1622. In 1624, he was made co-patron of Navarre. Known as the "Apostle of the Indies" and "Apostle of Japan", he is considered to be one of the greatest missionaries since Paul the Apostle.
After his death in 1552, he was buried once off the coast of China and again in Malaysia, for a total period of almost two years, before being transferred to the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, India -- one of his key missionary sites. Each time the body was exhumed, no natural decomposition had taken place, making Francis Xavier what is called an incorrupt saint.
While St Francis Xavier was lying in state in 1554 in Goa a local Portuguese woman decided she wanted a piece for her private collection; she bit off the little toe of his right foot. The bone from this bite is now preserved in a reliquary in the SCML.
The SCML Drops
There will be five distinct items in the first drop.
The first four NFTs are part of a 20 strong collection of paintings by Portuguese proto-baroque painter Andre Reinoso (c.1590-1641) and his collaborators. This collection of 20 paintings features the blessing of the Pope and the submission of St Francis Xavier to the Church of Rome. These paintings were placed on the Sacristy of the Church of St. Roch in 1619, three years before the official canonization of St. Francis Xavier on the 12th of March 1622 and were part of immense religious "propaganda" about the life and the work of the great Jesuit missionary, and in order to speed up the process of canonization by the Catholic Church.
The first four paintings of the collection have been converted into NFTs. Each painting in the collection will be restricted to 20 mints in total. The four first mints will be sold via auction.
The fifth item in the first drop is a reliquary of St Francis Xavier. This reliquary comes from the 18th century and measures 15,5 x 10 cm. In total, 1 million NFTs will be minted of this reliquary, but only 10,000 released in the first drop. This is a fixed price NFT at EUR100 each.
When and where
The auction and sale open at Artentik.com on December 1st, Independence Restoration Day in Portugal, at 00.05 UTC and will run until December 3rd, the feast day of St Francis Xavier. To receive updates, visit the site and provide an email address.
The next drop will begin two days afterwards and drops will continue though out December.
