EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Roberti, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1844, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history and artistic beauty of the Monza Cathedral in Lombardy, Italy. The image showcases a collection of intricately designed crowns and jeweled crosses that once adorned the sacred relics of the royal Basilica di San Tomaso in Monza. The Monza Cathedral, also known as the Rotonda di San Tomaso, is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture, with its distinctive rotunda design and ornate decorative elements. This cathedral, built between 1174 and 1197, holds significant historical and cultural importance as it was the coronation site for the Kings of Lombardy from the 14th to the 18th centuries. The crowns and crosses depicted in the engraving are adorned with precious stones, pearls, and intricate goldwork, reflecting the wealth and power of the monarchy. The central crown, crowned with a crucifix, is believed to be the crown of Saint Thomas, while the other crowns and crosses may have been used for other saints or important religious figures. The detailed illustration provides a fascinating insight into the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, with each element of the crowns and crosses meticulously rendered. The engraving also offers a glimpse into the architectural details of the cathedral, with its columned façade, ornate capitals, and intricate carvings. This beautiful image, created by Roberti and published in Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Monza Cathedral and the rich history of Lombardy, offering a glimpse into the past while showcasing the beauty and intricacy of medieval art and architecture.
