Book excerpt: Le fotografie di Marco Beck Peccoz, accompagnate da brevi testi storici e da un'introduzione di Antonio Paolucci, guidano alla scoperta di nove itinerari posti in luoghi di grande fascino paesaggistico, su cui si snodano teorie di cappelle che raccontano, con statue e affreschi, temi cari alla devozione cattolica. Il più antico Sacro Monte, quello di Varallo, iniziato nel tardo Quattrocento per volontà di un frate francescano, voleva condurre in una sorta di viaggio virtuale in Terra Santa quei visitatori che non potevano andarci in pellegrinaggio, riproducendo i luoghi storici legati alla vita di Cristo e popolandoli con immagini che mostravano quel che era avvenuto al loro interno. Grazie a Gaudenzio Ferrari, che vi lavorò nel primo Cinquecento, gli episodi del Vangelo vennero illustrati in scene di intenso naturalismo, con figure tridimensionali in tutto simili a persone vere, per fisionomia e sentimenti, con il fine di coinvolgere emotivamente i fedeli. A questo modello si ispirarono i Sacri Monti costruiti dopo il Concilio di Trento a Orta, Crea, Varese, Oropa, Ossuccio, Ghiffa, Domodossola e Belmonte, che sperimentarono questa nuova ed efficace forma di comunicazione religiosa. Nei Sacri Monti operarono artisti importanti come Gaudenzio Ferrari, i pittori Fiammenghini, Morazzone, Tanzio da Varallo, Moncalvo, gli scultori Tabacchetti e Prestinari, Giovanni d'Enrico, Dionigi Bussola, Giuseppe Rusnati, Antonio Busca, che sovente si alternarono nei diversi complessi costruendo scene vive e reali, coinvolgenti e ricche di pathos, attuali oggi come allora per i fedeli e i cultori di arte.

Download or read book Jerusalem in the Alps written by Geoffrey Symcox and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sacro Monte (Holy Mountain) at Varallo is a sanctuary in the Italian Alps west of Milan. It was founded in the late fifteenth century by a Franciscan friar, with the support of the town's leading families. He designed it as a schematic replica of Jerusalem, to enable the faithful to make a virtual pilgrimage to the Holy City if they could not undertake the perilous journey to visit it physically. The Sacro Monte consists of a sequence of chapels containing tableaux of life-size painted terra-cotta figures with fresco backgrounds recounting the life and Passion of Christ. A century later, in the era of the Counter-Reformation, a 'second wave' of Sacri Monti was constructed in the north-western Alps, modelled on Varallo, but dedicated to other devotional themes, like the Rosary or the life of St Francis. All these sanctuaries, like Varallo, were the result of local initiatives, initiated by the clergy and the leaders of the communities where they were situated. Like Varallo, they were the work of artists and craftsmen from the alpine valleys, or from nearby Lombardy. Long dismissed as folk art unworthy of serious critical attention, the Sacri Monti are now recognised as monuments of unique artistic significance. In 2003 UNESCO listed nine of them in its register of World Heritage Sites. This book studies their development as the products of the religious sensibilities and the social, economic, and political conditions of the mountain communities that created them.

Download or read book Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico written by Juan Luis Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles, a city located in central-south Mexico, during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background, investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological, anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics, students, and researchers interested in architectural history, Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period, it will make an important contribution to the field.

Download or read book The Architecture of the Christian Holy Land written by Kathryn Blair Moore and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the absence of the bodies of Christ and Mary, architecture took on a special representational role during the Christian Middle Ages, marking out sites associated with the bodily presence of the dominant figures of the religion. Throughout this period, buildings were reinterpreted in relation to the mediating role of textual and pictorial representations that shaped the pilgrimage experience across expansive geographies. In this study, Kathryn Blair Moore challenges fundamental ideas within architectural history regarding the origins and significance of European recreations of buildings in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Nazareth. From these conceptual foundations, she traces and re-interprets the significance of the architecture of the Holy Land within changing religious and political contexts, from the First Crusade and the emergence of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land to the anti-Islamic crusade movements of the Renaissance, as well as the Reformation.

Book excerpt: Sacri Monti, Holy Mountains, is the name given to nine Catholic pilgrimage sites, built in the 17th and late 16th century during the time of the Counter Reformation. Heavily populated scenes depict biblical stories about Jesus and various saints in somewhat rambling chapel buildings. Symbolic and spiritual meaning overlap, while terracotta figures and illusionistic painting blend into 'complete works of art' of bizarre beauty. In his new series of photos entitled Sacri Monti, Bertram Kober discovers this seemingly absurd theatre of figures and presents it with new perspectives and mood lighting. Kober's camera views the world anew with a deeper meaning he is not interested in mere surfaces and his photographs draw the viewer into the dynamic of the religious stories in a manner that is dramatic, striking, poetic and perceptive. English and German text.
