EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the breathtaking View of the Basilica of San Michele Maggiore in Pavia, Italy, during the 1800s. The Basilica, also known as Chiesa di S. Michele in Pavia, is a significant landmark in Lombardy, showcasing a unique blend of architectural styles, primarily Romanesque and Gothic. The Basilica, dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, was built between 1018 and 1058, with additions and restorations made throughout the centuries. The central rotunda, with its distinctive dome, is the most prominent feature of the Basilica, surrounded by smaller chapels and a cloister. The engraving, created by Pietro Giarre for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" in 1844, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Basilica's architectural features. The intricate carvings on the columns and capitals are particularly noteworthy, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The Basilica of San Michele Maggiore is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Pavia, a city that has played an essential role in the development of Italian art and architecture. The engraving serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of this remarkable structure and the world that surrounded it during the 1800s.
