EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Milan Cathedral, a prime example of 14th-century Gothic architecture. Constructed between 1386 and 1410 under the supervision of architects Simone da Orsenigo and Nicolas de Bonaventure, the Duomo di Milano is a testament to the artistic and engineering prowess of the time. The intricately detailed engraving, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1845, offers a captivating view of the cathedral's western facade. The elaborate decorations, including the famous Madonnina statue atop the central dome, are rendered in meticulous detail, showcasing the skill of the engraver, Pietro Giarre. The Milan Cathedral, also known as Duomo di Milano, is a symbol of Milanese pride and a major tourist attraction. Its construction took nearly six centuries to complete, with various additions and restorations made over the centuries. The cathedral's striking features, such as the elaborate rose windows, flying buttresses, and gargoyles, have inspired countless artists, architects, and visitors throughout history. This historical illustration not only showcases the architectural marvel of the Milan Cathedral but also offers a glimpse into the fashion and cultural trends of the 19th century, as depicted in Ferrario's publication. The intricate costumes worn by the figures in the foreground add an additional layer of interest to this image.
