The Von Schmidt Family Trust Collection encourages educational enlightenment and an increase of understanding of the world through Art appreciation. The trust actively shares its Art and Antiquity collections with Schools, Universities, Museums, and Public Entities worldwide.

Focusing primarily on Renaissance and Historical Paintings from the 15th through 19th Centuries the collection has been assembled to act as custodian of these great works of Art. Each of us lives only a short time which is especial noticeable when viewing a 16th century master’s work, or pottery crafted during the 2nd century.

Acknowledging the evolution of Art the collection began to incorporate modern pieces providing depth to the overall aesthetic. We are particularly proud to actively support yet undiscovered artists through our Emerging Artist collection with the goal of helping the next generation of artist masters achieve their true potential.

Also included are statuary pieces representing the various cultures and beliefs of the world. Our Antiquities pay homage to most major ancient cultures from throughout the Middle East, Greece, Rome and Medieval European Collections.

Representing a lifetime passion the family looks forward to continuing its mission and bringing enlightenment to future generations.
