Welcome to Anazao Galleries collection from the Vatican Library, or BAV (Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana), one of the greatest libraries of the Western world.

Our carefully selected works, many never before seen by the public, were chosen to reflect the interests of you, the contemporary collector. Anazao Galleries presents high-quality fine art prints as limited editions, opening the doors to display many rarely-seen works for the first time since the inception of the BAV in 1451. Every print from this Anazao Galleries Collection is embossed with the prestigious seal of the Vatican Library Collection, indicating the official sanctioning of reproductions from the Vatican Library Collection.

Our curated collection from the BAV is easy to explore -- please take the time to browse.

Founded by Pope Nicholas V "for the convenience of the learned," the holdings of the BAV have, until recently, only been open to serious scholars and theologians -- with a waiting list of several years just to access the unique, ancient, and delicate works in the library.

It is Anazao Galleries hope that you enjoy these extraordinary images and the fascinating stories behind them. Within this rare glimpse of the Vatican's treasures is much of the history that has helped shape our world. We look forward to continually releasing a growing quantity of selected works from the BAV on an ongoing basis.
