CASE STUDY

After meeting at one of my exhibitions some representative of this investment bank in Cambridge, I was asked to produce a unique piece of artwork for their meeting room in Cambridge. The mosaic theme was considered adequate for all customers and religions.

This arrangement was quite a challenge to manage the maximum dimension of a dedicated mount. With the title of “ Precious stones” it shows 5 different mosaic pieces of Sankt Mark’s Basilica in Venice and of the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta of Torcello.

I was very grateful for being authorised to draw in this unique spaces and pleased to have achieved an outstanding presentation.

Rathebones

The artwork was inaugurated in it’s position with a dedicated exhibition and celebrated.

The business was founded by William Rathbone II by 1742 as a Liverpool-based timber trading business.

In the 19th century it became a leading trader in cotton from the United States and in 1841 it became the Liverpool agent for the East India Company. In 1912 it abandoned its trading operations and focused on financial management, initially for the Rathbone family, but subsequently for the general public, when the business was restructured to focus solely on wealth management.

The company listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1992, the year of its 250th anniversary.
In that same year, the bank pioneered one of the UK’s first tailored ethical and sustainable portfolio services, which led in 2004 to the formal establishment of Rathbone Greenbank Investments.
In 2009, Rathbones became one of the first investment managers to sign up to the UN-endorsed Principles for Responsible Investment, which promotes environmental, social and governance considerations.

Today it operate out of 23 locations across the UK and Jersey, with £100.7bn of assets under management for our
clients.
