Itinerary among the masterpieces of the monumental complex of the Cathedral of Siena on the occasion of the Year of Faith
The exhibition tells, through the precious miniatures that make up the manuscripts on parchment, the fresco paintings and the paintings on wood, the last moments of the life of Christ articulated in an evocative itinerary inside the monumental complex of the Cathedral of Siena. The itinerary develops mainly in two locations: in the Crypt, an entirely frescoed room, and in the Museo dell'Opera established in 1860 to preserve the masterpieces from the cathedral. The figurative cycle that unfolds along the walls of the Crypt includes episodes from the Old and New Testaments.
