6262838 Detail of frescoes, 1357-64 (fresco) by Ugolino di Prete, Ilario (1330-c.1404) & others; Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta), Orvieto, Umbria, Italy; (add.info.: The interior, the Chapel of the Corporale
Consistently with the destination of the Chapel, the iconographic program of the cycle has as its object not only the episodes of the Bolsena Mass, but in general the mystery of Transubstantiation. In fact, in addition to the miracle of Bolsena, several other prodigies are depicted - mostly they are episodes taken from exempla developed with a didactic purpose - which would demonstrate the real presence of the body of Christ in the consecrated Particola. Complete the decoration scenes of the Passion of Christ and in particular the representation of the Last Supper, precisely the institution of the Eucharist.
Orvieto, Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (o Duomo), interno, la Cappella del Corporale: ciclo di affreschi di Ugolino di Prete Ilario e aiuti. (1357-64). Particolare. Coerentemente alla destinazione della Cappella, il programma iconografico del ciclo ha ad oggetto non solo gli episodi della Messa di Bolsena, ma in generale il mistero della Transustanziazione. Infatti, oltre al miracolo di Bolsena, sono raffigurati diversi altri prodigi - per lo piu si tratta di episodi tratti da exempla messi a punto con scopo didascalico - che dimostrerebbero la reale presenza del corpo di Cristo nella Particola consacrata. Completano la decorazione scene della Passione di Cristo e in particolare la raffigurazione dell Ultima Cena, appunto l istituzione dell eucaristia.); Ghigo Roli

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of frescoes from the 14th century. Created by Ugolino di Prete, Ilario and other artists, these stunning frescoes adorn the interior of the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta) in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. The focal point of this particular image is the Chapel of the Corporale within the cathedral. The iconographic program of this cycle aims to depict not only the episodes of the Bolsena Mass but also delves into the mystery of Transubstantiation. Alongside portraying the miracle at Bolsena, numerous other prodigies are illustrated—mostly derived from didactic exempla—to emphasize and demonstrate Christ's real presence in consecrated bread. In addition to these miraculous scenes, depictions related to Christ's Passion can be found throughout this remarkable artwork. Notably, there is a representation of The Last Supper—an iconic moment that signifies the institution of Eucharist. Photographer Ghigo Roli has skillfully captured this intricate detail with precision and finesse. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate every brushstroke and color choice made by Ugolino di Prete, Ilario, and their assistants. This print serves as a window into history—a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion that continues to inspire awe in visitors who have had the privilege to witness these magnificent frescoes firsthand at Orvieto's Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (Duomo).
