"Arte Medioevale: A Glimpse into the Dark and Divine" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the haunting beauty of Arte Medioevale. This captivating collection takes us on a journey through medieval art, revealing the intricate details and profound symbolism that defined this era. Limbs and Demons; The Poor calling Death; Corpses of a Cardinal, a Woman, and a Nun - these fragmented frescoes from the cycle of detached paintings depict the macabre dance between life and death. With vivid brushstrokes, they remind us of our mortality while exploring themes of sin, redemption, and salvation. In the St. John the Baptist Chapel at Genoa's Duomo (St Lawrence Cathedral), we encounter "The Ark of Relics. " Here, amidst detailed scenes depicting St. John's beheading lies an intense portrayal by an unknown artist. The masterful strokes capture both anguish and reverence as we witness this pivotal moment in biblical history. Moving to Montefalco, we are captivated by "Capture of Christ, " painted by Master of the right apse of St Francis. This detached fresco transports us to Calvary with its emotional intensity that resonates even after centuries have passed. As we venture further into sacred spaces such as transept external part or central nave frescoes portraying significant events like Jesus' presentation at the temple or his resurrection unfold before our eyes. Each stroke tells stories that have shaped faith for generations. The Bardi Chapel unveils another masterpiece - "St Francis Altarpiece. " Within its frames lie twenty stories from his extraordinary life. In one detail, Saint Francis teaches lepers while tenderly holding one in his arms – a testament to compassion beyond boundaries. But it is not all divine glory within Arte Medioevale; darkness lurks too. Punishment awaits those consumed by greed or wrath in fragments from "The Triumph of Death, Last Judgment and Hell.
