EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of "The Assumption of Mary" fresco, created between 1745-48 by renowned artists Bortoloni, Mattia (1695-1750), Biella, Felice (1702-86) & Bibiena, Giuseppe Galli (1696-1757). Located in the Sanctuary of Vicoforte in Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy, this masterpiece is a true testament to the skill and creativity of these talented individuals. In this particular section of the fresco, we are treated to an enchanting scene. The dome depicts "The Assumption of Mary" surrounded by allegorical scenes featuring the cardinal Virtues, the Doctors of the Church, and adoring angels. As if frozen in time within this celestial setting are the Apostles themselves who bear witness to Mary's glorification. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its trompe l'oeil technique that creates illusionistic effects through cloud and chiaroscuro elements. It transports viewers into a world where reality blends seamlessly with imagination. Through this print from Bridgeman Images captured by Ghigo Roli (not affiliated with any company or commercial use), we can appreciate every intricate detail and brushstroke that went into creating such a breathtaking piece. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create beauty that transcends time and space while honoring religious devotion.
