Una elegante strenna che, attraverso le rappresentazioni dei maggiori artisti di tutti i tempi, delinea un suggestivo percorso per immagini che “racconta” i grandi temi della cristianità.
La figura di Cristo è il fil rouge attraverso il quale si snoda la narrazione, suddivisa nei temi che delineano le tappe salienti della sua storia: Annunciazione, Visitazione di Maria ad Elisabetta, Natività (Natale Domini; Adorazione dei Pastori; Adorazione dei magi), Battesimo di Cristo, Vita di Cristo (Apostoli; Ultima cena; Crocifissione; Resurrezione), Apostoli ed Evangelisti, Giudizio Universale, Cristo Pantocratore: il Paradiso.
La successione delle immagini segue un criterio cronologico, dal Medioevo al Novecento, ma pone grande attenzione alle corrispondenze formali, stilistiche, cromatiche e simboliche. Spesso sono messi in evidenza i particolari più interessanti.
Da Giotto a Dürer, dal Beato Angelico a Bruegel, da Michelangelo a El Greco, da Leonardo a Cranach, da Raffaello al Tiepolo…: le opere dei grandi Maestri sfilano in questa galleria dal fascino straordinario, in cui ogni pagina regala una nuova emozione.
Brevi citazioni evangeliche costituiscono la parte testuale: anch’essa quindi, come l’iconografia, tutta giocata sul fascino evocativo.

An elegant gift with which representations from major artists of all times, outline a suggestive path with images that “tell” of the great themes of Christianity.
The figure of Christ is the fil rouge through which the narrative unwinds, subdivided into themes that outline the important stages of His story:
The Annunciation, The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, The Nativity; (Natale Domini; The Adoration of the Shepherds; the Adoration of the Magi), Christ’s Baptism, the life of Christ (the Apostles; The Last Supper; The Crucifixion; The Resurrection), The Apostles and the Evangelists, The Judgment, The Christ Almighty, Paradise.
The images’ sequence follows a chronological criteria, from Medieval to the 1900’s but imposes great attention on the formal requirements, stylistic, chromatic and symbolical. The most interesting particulars are often highlighted.
From Giotto to Dürer, from Beato Angelico to Bruegel, from Michelangelo to El Greco, from Leonardo to Cranach, from Raffaello to Tiepolo: the works of the Grand Masters parade through this extraordinarily fascinating gallery, in which every page gives the gift of a new emotion.
Brief gospel citations constitute the textual part: even this therefore, like the iconography, plays entirely on evocative fascination.
