Casciago VA - Church St. Augustine-Mosaic p. Rupnik. sent on January 29, 2016 (15:37) by Massimo Schiavi. 27 comments, 6027 views.

at 24mm, 1/8 f/7.1, ISO 400, hand held. San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy.

Padre Marko Rupnik, un gesuita di origine slovena dalla solida formazione artistica e teologica, iconografo moderno di fama mondiale ed autore, tra l'altro, del logo ufficiale del giubileo della Misericordia (2015-2016), da anni realizza mosaici girando tutto il mondo con una piccola comunità di consacrati che fa riferimento al Centro Aletti di Roma. suoi, i mosaici della Cappella "Redemptoris Mater" in Vaticano, quelli delle basiliche di Fatima e di San Giovanni Rotondo, quelli sulla facciata del Santuario di Lourdes . Il nuovo battistero della chiesa di Sant'Agostino a Casciago (VA) sicuramente sorprende per lo smagliante fulgore dei mosaici che rivestono l'abside ed il catino absidale e per il ritorno ad un'idea di bellezza e splendore che si riallaccia alla tradizione dei mosaici paleocristiani e medievali. Il Cristo rappresentato nel mosaico di Casciago è il Salvatore che trionfa sulla morte, sugli Inferi, rappresentati da un orrendo mostro con le fauci spalancate. Cristo è ucciso sulla croce ma non è vinto dalla morte: scende agli Inferi e, con le mani segnate dal segno dei chiodi che lo trafissero, libera l'umanità (Adamo ed Eva) dalla morte così come l'acqua del battesimo scende su chi si accosta al fonte battesimale e lo libera dal peccato originale per conferirgli la dignità di figlio del Padre e la promessa di vita eterna, come indicato dal Padre benedicente, rappresentato in alto nel catino absidale, che regge un libro con l'iscrizione "Io sono la vita". E le linee che accompagnano il Cristo nella discesa agli Inferi rimandano anche al profilo della coppa di un calice che idealmente poggia sul piede del calice stesso, costituito dalla vasca del fonte battesimale; in questo modo sia il Battesimo sia l'Eucarestia sono collegati idealmente nell'immagine della discesa agli Inferi ? riletta da Rupnik attraverso le suggestive parole di San Efrem il Siro, vissuto nel IV secolo ? e all'interno di uno spazio contrassegnato dalla Trinità (cui rimandano i tre cerchi, uno bianco, uno rosso e uno blu). E Cristo nello splendido lembo del mantello svolazzante porta con sé i volti dei Santi della comunità pastorale: Sant'Eusebio, Sant'Ambrogio, Sant'Agostino e Santa Monica, San Martino e i Santi Ippolito e Cassiano. Un rimando evidente alla comunione dei santi e al corpo mistico di Cristo, di cui i fedeli costituiscono il corpo, proprio come ciascuna delle tessere collocate dall'équipe di Rupnik costituisce il grandioso mosaico di Casciago. #Mosaico

Thanks Agata, your comment makes me particularly happy. Light, of course, was artificial and the shutter speed is supposed to be necessarily longish also to give some pdf, since the apse, closing a little 'diaphragm. In addition there were two windows that were shooting against the light. Certainly pp helped me enough.
Greetings Agata and a good weekend to you and Rosario!

I like how they shine the golden tiles .. sign of a good white balance!
Then Massimo admit that some of your expressions written you did "very" -D old .. but I changed my mind .. firmest hand to 1/8 s. !! wow!
So Augustine with its modernity (in his journey, mostly), gave a discreet notoriety to "your" beautiful village. For this and for the beautiful caption deserve many compliments .. hello. :-P

Well, dear Pussy, my age you see on my profile and say that the word "old" suits me! But I think I understand what you mean and I think that my generation has aged prematurely and it is my opinion that this depends on what and how much technological development there was, above all, how has changed the lifestyle of the 50's the last century, when I was a child, to date. Therefore regrets, normal at my age (who has not heard a father or a grandfather say: "In my day, so that was good!"), Are even stronger in those who have been, for better or for worse, mind you, changes so great and distorting. But maybe I just do me this illusion and, therefore, some of my expressions written testimony really some "ancient" but; For now, is only the head ... the hand, however, is still firm enough! -D: -D: -D
Rather I am discovering a bit 'a talker ... !!! -D: -D: -D
Casciago is not "my" country although it is a beautiful place and I would love to live there, but is bordering Varese where I live.
Thanks a lot of the comments most welcome and appreciation of the shot!
Best wishes and good weekend!

Thanks George and Annamaria, really makes me great pleasure that you enjoyed the photos and, above all, that you have judged the great mosaic. Father Marko Rupnik, the author, is the best mosaic artist and iconographer living. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to admire his work in a church which is less than a quarter of an hour from my house.
Best wishes and good evening to you, dear George and Annamaria!
