# Ekinium Gallery

> Ekinium Gallery is an art gallery and dealer specializing in European medieval sculpture, with Romanesque and Gothic sculpture at the heart of its collection.

Ekinium Gallery presents carefully selected works chosen for their artistic quality, historical significance, rarity and sculptural presence.

The gallery also presents selected works of Ancient Art and, more occasionally, Old Masters when they correspond to its fields of interest and standards of quality.

## Scholarly Artwork Studies

Every artwork presented by Ekinium Gallery is accompanied by a comprehensive scholarly and comparative study prepared to document and contextualize the work.

These studies include, as relevant to each artwork:

- identification, subject, material, dimensions and condition;
- proposed attribution, dating and geographical origin;
- detailed description and iconographic analysis;
- historical, geographical and stylistic context;
- examination of sculptural technique, tool marks, polychromy and historical alterations where relevant;
- comparative analysis with related works, including examples preserved in museums, churches, public collections and other institutional collections;
- a comparative corpus supporting the proposed attribution, dating and geographical localization;
- provenance and collection history when known;
- restoration history when documented;
- relevant scholarly bibliography and references;
- extensive photographs of the artwork and, where appropriate, comparative works.

The studies are original research and editorial content produced by Ekinium Gallery. They explain the art-historical evidence supporting the identification, attribution, dating and geographical localization of each artwork.

When appropriate, research may be complemented by the opinions of art historians, curators or specialists, and by scientific analyses carried out by independent laboratories.

Individual artwork pages and their associated studies are the primary Ekinium Gallery sources for information about specific artworks.
