Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista - Varese sent on April 11, 2016 (14:05) by Massimo Schiavi. 22 comments, 451 views. [retina]

Premetto che l'inquadratura della foto è molto stretta, ma ciò è dovuto sia alla posizione del Battistero sia al fatto che il fianco che dà su una piazzetta è, praticamente, un parcheggio (Grrr ..). Il Battistero di San Giovanni Battista, ossia il Battistero di Varese, si trova a destra della Basilica di San Vittore, dietro la torre campanaria. L'edificio attuale, costituito da un vano quadrangolare con volta a crociera e da un presbiterio sormontato da una tribuna, è stato eretto tra il XII e il XIII secolo, e non consente di intuire la pianta esagonale di quello primitivo (sec. VIII-IX). Presenta linee sobrie ed eleganti, impreziosite dalla muratura costituita da conci squadrati; la struttura, composta da due parallelepipedi disposti longitudinalmente, è assai originale. La facciata a capanna è ornata da una serie di archetti pensili, e racchiude un'edicola con statua trecentesca di S. Giovanni Battista. Due affreschi attribuiti al Maestro della Tomba Fissiraga sono collocati nelle lunette del portale principale e della porta ogivale murata nel fianco destro. L'edificio è il risultato di varie modifiche strutturali: la prima tra l'XI e il XIII secolo, l'ultima nel 1880, quando venne rettificato l'andamento spezzato del lato sinistro. Durante i restauri svolti nel 1948 si rinvennero tracce della muratura originaria dell'VIII - IX secolo e fu ritrovato un fonte battesimale di forma ottagonale scolpito in pietra di Viggiù tra il XIII e il XIV secolo. L'interno del Battistero di San Giovanni Battista La decorazione, raffigurante il Battesimo di Cristo e figure di santi, è rimasta incompiuta. Al centro, sotto il fonte, si trova l'antica vasca battesimale a immersione (sec. VII-VIII). L'interno è arricchito da numerosi affreschi, tra i più antichi di Varese, parte dei quali attribuiti al Maestro della Tomba Fissiraga: nella parete destra,Teoria di apostoli e santi; sulla destra dell'arco trionfale, Crocifissione; nel presbiterio a destra, Madonna della Misericordia; nella tribuna, in alto, Due santi vescovi. #Chiese

Massimo is the picture is a bit 'tight for the reasons written by you, but not detract from the beauty of the colors and the excellent management of lights.
The caption as your usual, thorough and comprehensive, a pleasure reading it.

Optimus Maximus taking a simple but beautiful church, which through very full caption, you make it known to people like me who has never been in Varese!

Thanks a lot Antonio, once again I am very happy for your very welcome comments and for the appreciation of my photos. Unfortunately the picture is what it is, and then I'd like to do even the shots inside, but it is not so easy because it is only open for functions and, when there are people, is not ideal for take pictures.
Hello and good evening!

George, many thanks for your most welcome comments and are glad you enjoyed the photo.
Well, I think one of the features of the site is also to share not only images, but also knowledge. So, while I appreciate the views and natural beauty, including flowers, of your beautiful Dubrovnik, you can learn about those of this corner of Lombardy.
Here, I think one of the advantages of modern technology is precisely to facilitate communications and, therefore, knowledge. Then there are also disadvantages ... but that's another story and, most importantly, very subjective! :-D :-D
