Image description

Saronno, Shrine of Our Lady of Miracles: the dome of the transept with the great fresco "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin", known as "The choir of angels playing music" painted by Gaudenzio Ferrari from 1534.Paradise is essentially represented by the multitude of angelic presences, placed to crown the face of God and to welcome the arrival of the Virgin.The angels playing music constitute the most varied orchestra of stringed and percussion instruments that has never been painted.Fifty-six different musical instruments can be identified, the most recognizable ones are ancient instruments, the others have been created by the artist's imagination. The following instruments are recognized: alpenhorn (horn of the Alps), altobasso, harp, bombard, cimballini or small plates, bagpipes, cornet, flute, pan or syringe flute, hurdy-gurdy, lyre, lute, nyastaranga,ribeca, viella, salterio or zither, tambourine Saronno, Santuario della Beata Vergine dei Miracoli: la cupola del transetto con il grande affresco "Assunzione della Beata Vergine", meglio noto come "Coro di angeli musicanti" vera e propria allegoria del Paradiso, affrescata da Gaudenzio Ferrari a partire dal 1534.A raffigurare il Paradiso è essenzialmente la moltitudine delle presenze angeliche, poste a far da corona al volto di Dio e ad accogliere l'arrivo della Vergine.Gli angeli musicanti compongono la piu variegata orchestra di strumenti a corde ed a fiato ed a percussione che mai sia stata dipinta.Si possono contare ben cinquantasei diversi strumenti musicali, i piu riconoscibili come strumenti antichi, altri usciti dalla fantasia dell'artista. Si riconoscono i seguenti strumenti: alpenhorn (corno delle Alpi), altobasso, arpa, bombarda, cimballini o piccoli piatti, cornamusa, cornetto, flauto (dolce e traverso), flauto di Pan o siringa, ghironda, lira, liuto, nyastaranga, organo portativo, ribeca, viella, salterio o cetra, tamburo e tamburello, timpani, triangolo, tromba, viola.Particolare.
