Il Museo San Francesco di Montefalco torna ad ospitare la celebre “Madonna della Cintola”, straordinaria opera pittorica dell’artista Benozzo Gozzoli.

In ragione successo di pubblico riscontrato, la mostra speciale visibile dallo scorso luglio è stata prorogata: c’è ancora tempo fino al 30 aprile 2016 per recarsi ad ammirare questo capolavoro del Rinascimento pittorico italiano.

>> Vieni ad ammirare la preziosa opera e soggiorna in uno degli agriturismi di Montefalco e della zona di Foligno, li trovi qui!

 

La Madonna della Cintola a Montefalco

Dopo 167 anni, infatti, l’opera abbandona temporaneamente la Pinacoteca del Vaticano per tornare a Montefalco e ricongiungersi al ciclo di affreschi realizzati dal maestro Gozzoli nella Chiesa di San Francesco.

La “Madonna della Cintola” ha subito un lungo restauro presso i laboratori dei Musei Vaticani, e può essere quindi ammirata nuovamente in tutto il suo splendore. In riferimento all’opera, il curatore della mostra Antonio Paolucci parla di “carpenteria lignea di straordinaria qualità, quasi un capolavoro di ingegneria strutturale, arrivato miracolosamente intatto fino ad oggi; cromia tenera e luminosa, sottigliezze fiamminghe degne dell’Angelico”.

D’altronde, Benozzo Gozzoli crebbe professionalmente proprio con gli insegnamenti di Beato Angelico, pittore protagonista del primo Rinascimento fiorentino. Ne divenne infatti collaboratore nelle maggiori opere, realizzate in particolare in Vaticano con dei cicli di affreschi nei Palazzi Vaticani e nella Basilica di San Pietro, e al Duomo di Orvieto.

Il Museo San Francesco di Montefalco

Dal 1895, la Chiesa di San Francesco e il convento adiacente ospitano il museo civico di Montefalco. L’antica chiesa, che risale al 1300, conserva delle opere pittoriche di grande importanza storica e artistica, con affreschi realizzati tra il XIV e il XVI secolo.

In particolare, vi si trovano: “Le Storie della vita di san Francesco” (1452) di Benozzo Gozzoli, uno tra i cicli pittorici rinascimentali meglio conservati, e “L’Annunciazione con Eterno in gloria tra angeli e Natività” (1503) di Pietro Vannucci detto il Perugino.

Inoltre, la chiesa e gli ambienti annessi conservano dipinti minori, tessuti, e reperti archeologici provenienti dal territorio.

The Madonna della Cintola in Montefalco

In fact, after 167 years, the work temporarly abandons the Vatican Pinacoteca to come back in Montefalco and rejoin the cycle of frescos painted by the master Gozzoli in the St Francis Church.

The “Madonna della Cintola”, enriched with an exemplary restoration by the operators of the Vatican Museums, can be admired in all of his splendor. About the work, the curator of the exhibition Antonio Paolucci talks of “a wooden carpentry of extraordinary quality, almost a masterpiece of structural engineering, which is miraculously intact to date; tender and bright colour shades, Flemish subtleties worthy of Fra Angelico equalling the Tabernacle of the Linaioli and San Marco frescoes”.

Moreover, Benozzo Gozzoli grew professionally with the master Beato Angelico, painter protagonist of the first Florentine Renaissance. Gozzoli became his collaborator in the major works, especially in the Vatican with the cycle of frescos of the Vatican Palaces and of the St Peter Basilica, and in the Cathedral of Orvieto.
