Synopsis
- A book full of high-resolution photographs that allow you to see previously unseen details of the cathedral's frescoes and sculptural reliefs
- Slim format that can be taken along on a visit to the church
- In addition to detailed historical and iconographic explanations, there are planimetric maps that make it possible to trace the current location of all the works described in the volume
- The volume is edited by two of the leading experts on 16th-century Lombard art, university professors at the head of a team of young scholars
Santa Maria Assunta in Cremona, among the great Romanesque cathedrals of the Po Valley in northern Italy, is not only one of the most renowned for its artwork, but also one in which the slow stratification of time is most evident. The names of the greatest masters, in the first person or in the medieval sense of workshop, follow one another in quick succession: Wiligelmo, Antelami, the excellent Marco Romano, the Campionesi, enrich the façade with grandiose and superb sculptures, aristocratic and earthy.
In the interior, the cycle of frescoes in the main nave with the Stories from the Life of the Virgin and Christ shows, as nowhere else, the symptoms of the pressing renewal taking place in early 16th century Italian painting, from the faultless classicism of Boccaccio Boccaccino to the eccentric Altobello Melone and Gianfrancesco Bembo, the Brescian Romanino and the Friulian Pordenone, who is given the grand finale with the resounding Crucifixion on the counter façade. Alongside these two poles, the façade and the nave, there are masterpieces from all centuries: paintings, sculptures, and goldsmithing, including frescoes and canvases by the Campi, the greatest exponents of the 16th-century Cremonese school of painting.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Frangi F. e Tanzi M. Milano, 2024; br., pp. 120, ill., cm 12x24. (I Lemuri). Tra le grandi cattedrali romaniche padane, quella dedicata a Santa Maria Assunta a Cremona è una delle più ricche di testimonianze figurative alte e stratificate, che improntano il lento passare dei secoli di segni di particolare rilievo. I nomi dei più grandi maestri, in prima persona o nell'accezione medioevale di bottega, si susseguono fitti: Wiligelmo, Antelami, l'eccelso Marco Romano, i campionesi, arricchiscono la facciata con opere grandiose e superbe, aristocratiche e terragne. Nell'interno poi, il ciclo di affreschi nella navata maggiore con le Storie della vita della Vergine e di Cristo squaderna come in nessun altro luogo i sintomi dell'incalzante rinnovamento in atto nella pittura italiana del primo Cinquecento, dal classicismo senza errori di Boccaccio Boccaccino alle inquietudini eccentriche e ponentine di Altobello Melone e di Gianfrancesco Bembo, del bresciano Romanino e del friulano Pordenone, cui spetta il gran finale con la clamorosa e baluginante Crocifissione della controfacciata. Accanto a questi due poli, la facciata e la navata, si aggregano capolavori di tutti i secoli, pittura, scultura, oreficeria. Cicli tardo-gotici nelle volte delle navatelle, che rimandano al gusto delle miniature e dei Tacuina sanitatis; la grande croce d'argento quattrocentesca; alcune tra le sculture più importanti ed espressive del Rinascimento in Lombardia; gli affreschi e le tele dei Campi, i massimi esponenti della scuola pittorica cremonese del Cinquecento, tra Maniera e natura; dipinti e sculture dal Sei all'Ottocento, dai Procaccini al Genovesino, da Bertesi a Borroni, fino a Giuseppe Diotti.
