EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the renowned Fresco of the Mass of St. Michael, a 13th-century masterpiece from the church of St. Michele in Monza, Italy. The fresco, which is currently housed in the Museo Monza, showcases a poignant scene of the Eucharist with Christ at the center, surrounded by the Virgin Mary and various saints. Notable in this representation is the presence of Queen Theodolinda of the Lombards, who is depicted in a regal crown and scarlet robe, standing next to the Virgin Mary. Queen Theodolinda, who ruled from 540 to 572 AD, is an intriguing historical figure in her own right, known for her patronage of the arts and her role in the spread of Christianity in northern Italy. The fresco itself is believed to have been painted by a master from Rimini, with influences from the Gothic style prevalent during the 14th century. The architectural backdrop of the scene is reminiscent of the Duomo di Milano, further emphasizing the connection between Monza and the larger Milanese artistic tradition. The engraving, produced by Roberti from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a detailed and captivating interpretation of the original fresco. The intricate details of the costumes and the expressive faces of the figures bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and spirituality in the heart of medieval Italy.
