Imagine... Spending years constructing this amazing Cathedral with a gigantic hole in the ceiling for a massive dome, knowing the technology, knowledge & skill did not actually exist to build the dome. About a hundred years passed before the dome was able to be designed & constructed by Brunelleschi. If you enjoy my work, please comment.

The Intricate Duomo Cathedral, Milan -
Duomo Detail by Steven Nelson
A capture from a visit of the Duomo Di Milano in 2012. The cathedral was dedicated to Santa Maria Nascente and is also the seat of the Archbishop of Milan. Or, as Mark Twain put it, "So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate, so airy, so graceful!"

L’arte del mosaico dei maestri artigiani italiani rappresenta nei secoli come questa forma d’arte diffusa nel territorio dell'Impero Romano d'Oriente abbia abbellito i nostri monumenti, chiese e la facciata del Duomo di Orvieto, il monumento simbolo della città, ne è l’esempio che ancora oggi si può ammirare. I mosaici, sullo sfondo d’oro, della facciata del Duomo di Orvieto, rappresentano alcuni episodi della vita di Maria, la madre di Gesù, in quanto la cattedrale è intitolata a Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo. La Natività di Maria. Lo sposalizio della Vergine. Maria assunta in cielo. Cristo incorona Maria. Al di spora del portale centrale si trova la scultura in bronzo con un baldacchino dedicato alla Vergine Maria. Al di sopra del portale di sinistra si trova il mosaico del Battesimo di Cristo. Quello che colpisce di più nel vedere la facciata non sono solo i mosaici ma anche le sue imponenti guglie con i mosaici, i cicli scultorei delle colonne con episodi della Sacra Scrittura, il bellissimo rosone con al centro la testa del Redentore, le figure dei quattro Dottori della Chiesa e lungo i margini sono collocate 52 teste a rilievo del XIV secolo. Il Duomo di Orvieto fu costruito tra il XIII e il XVII secolo ed è legato al miracolo dell’Eucarestia, avvenuto nel 1263 a Bolsena e la reliquia si trova conservata nel Duomo.

Architecture is meant to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes. When you look at a structure, you can distinguish these two ends but they cannot be separated, and the relative weight each of them carry can vary widely. Plus, every society has its own, unique relationship to the natural world and its architecture usually reflects that as well, allowing people from other places to learn about their environment, as well as history, ceremonies, artistic sensibility, and many aspects of daily life.
Che ci sia qualcosa di strano, nelle foto di Markus Brunetti, si percepisce anche da un dettaglio apparentemente insignificante: l’anno indicato accanto al titolo. Duomo di Milano, 2009-2017. Cattedrale di San Nicola Pellegrino di Bari, 2014-2018. Notre-Dame di Parigi, 2006-2015, e così via. Ma che significa? Come si possono impiegare quattro, otto, nove anni per scattare una fotografia? La risposta è che non si tratta di una fotografia ma di centinaia, a volte migliaia di scatti, realizzati in giorni diversi, […]
