EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural grandeur of Milan Cathedral, or Duomo di Milano, as it appeared in the 14th century. Constructed between 1386 and 1410 under the guidance of architects Simone da Orsenigo and Nicolas de Bonaventure, this Gothic masterpiece is a testament to the artistic and engineering prowess of the time. The intricately detailed illustration showcases a section through the cathedral, providing an elevated view of the choir area. The engraving reveals the complex structure of the building, with its soaring arches, ribbed vaults, and ornate decorative elements. The delicate play of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, while the meticulous handcolouring brings the stonework to life. This illustration was created by Cellai for Giulio Ferrario's publication, "Il Costume Antico e Moderno," published in Florence in 1845. Ferrario's work aimed to document and preserve the historical fashions and costumes of various peoples around the world. The inclusion of this engraving of Milan Cathedral underscores the importance of architecture in the broader cultural context of the time. As a historical record and an artistic achievement, this section through Milan Cathedral offers a unique perspective on the rich architectural heritage of the Gothic period. Its intricate details and beautiful handcolouring continue to captivate viewers and inspire architects, artists, and historians alike.
