Stories of the Virgin - High Reliefs of the Ballustrade at the Church of San Maurizio in Milan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a remarkable piece of artistry from the XVI century. The image showcases the high reliefs adorning the ballustrade of the Nuns' Choir at the Church of San Maurizio in Milan, Italy. The intricate Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles are evident in every detail, reflecting Europe's rich artistic heritage during this period. These architectural elements, such as stairs and building decorations, create a temple-like structure that exudes religious significance. The artwork itself depicts various scenes from the life of Virgin Mary. From her mystical marriage to Joseph to her presentation in the temple, these representations offer a glimpse into ancient traditions and customs surrounding faith. Amongst these depictions are other important women figures alongside angels and saints. Each figure is adorned with costumes that reflect their respective time periods, showcasing not only their spiritual roles but also fashion trends prevalent during those times. As we delve deeper into this photograph print by Alinari Fratelli dating back to 1920-1930s, it becomes apparent how religious narratives have shaped European history for centuries. The presence of priests performing rituals highlights both Christian religion's influence on society as well as its coexistence with non-Christian religions throughout Europe. This mesmerizing artwork serves as a testament to human creativity across different epochs - bridging gaps between past and present through its enduring beauty. It invites viewers to contemplate upon biblical stories from New Testament while appreciating masterful craftsmanship within renaissance-baroque aesthetics.
