Aprašymas
Ex voto: An account of the Sacro Monte or New Jerusalem at Varallo-Sesia is a historical work that examines the significance and artistry of the Sacro Monte in Varallo, Italy. Samuel Butler explores the chapels and religious sculptures created to recreate the experiences of the Holy Land for those unable to travel there. The book highlights the contributions of various artists, with particular attention to the sculptor Tabachetti, and emphasizes the craftsmanship involved in life-sized figures made from terra-cotta, often detailed with realistic features, drapery, and human hair. Butler reflects on prior literature and his own observations to provide a comprehensive account of the site's historical, cultural, and artistic importance. He also discusses the visionary efforts of Bernardino Caimi, the founder of the Sacro Monte, and the influences of different artists in shaping the collection. Through careful description and analysis, the work aims to inspire further appreciation and study of this unique religious and artistic heritage, blending historical narrative with aesthetic evaluation.
