Edicola di Sustrico, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Shrine of Sustrico

The oldest construction of the farmhouse, presumably from the 14th century, is a two-storey tower covered by a double sloping roof illuminated by low arched windows and finished at the top by a simple overhang of stone slabs, which has a niche on the west-facing side. , once covered by a sloping roof now removed, with a beautiful fresco, datable to the early 15th century, depicting the Madonna enthroned with Child (main photo), on the left side of the niche is a rare representation, perhaps the only one existing, of the Spoleto saints, brothers and deacons, Serenico and Serenedo (SEE WS), on the right side a holy bishop, perhaps San Martino (SEE WS).

Hi Silvio,

Le cadrage serré met l'oeuvre d'art en évidence. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la fresque. La lumière met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Hello Silvio,
I pity the damage, even more so for the WS, but it is still a charming painting, even though the artist was not among the greatest of his time. But the photo is a good document with good colours and clarity.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Caro Silvio,

This fresco would have been a remarkable document when it was painted, some 600 years ago. It clearly depicts the love and warmth of a mother for her child, whilst the halos explain the religious significance of the figures.
It is a pity that the fresco is so damaged but you have still shown us a very sharp, neatly cropped photograph.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silvio.
Ideal very old painting of this Virgin with the Child, I love the feeling of serenity that they transmit, it is a pity that a part of the head of the Virgin has been lost.
Sharpness, lighting and color are excellent.
Well done. I like it, my friend.
Enjoy the day.
Luis.

Hello Silvio,
In the three photos we can see that some very important parts of the frescoes are badly damaged.
Still beautiful testimonies of the painting of that century, skillfully portrayed by you.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Silvio,
Great addition to your rich collection of Madonnas.
A great quality documentary with all the damage well visible.
As usually, sad for the painting but it adds a character and history from the perspective of the photographer,
Very well done,
M
