Stories from the New Testament

Beskrivelse af kunstværket

The large apse window V19 of Milan Duomo is dedicated to stories from the New Testament. The reading of the episodes is from bottom to top, left to right. The work was amongst the first stained-glass windows to be made in the Cathedral, together with the large central window of the Apocalypse and large window V21, which traces episodes from the Old Testament. Already by the second decade of the 15th century, the window deserved the attention of the Fabbricieri, who commissioned the construction of the panels dedicated to the life of Christ to artists such as Franceschino Zavattari, Maffiolo da Cremona and Giovanni Recalcati. The participation of other master glassmakers of prime importance in the first half of the 16th century is attested, and new work to the stained-glass window led to the creation of the cycle of episodes from the Passion of Christ by Pietro da Velate. From 1830, all the 14th and 15th-century panels originally located in stained-glass window V19 were moved to other windows so as to leave space for a modern stained-glass window made, starting from 1838, by Giovan Battista Bertini and finished in the second half of the century by his sons Pompeo and Giuseppe. This is the current decoration of stained-glass window V19.

Pompeo Bertini Workshop: Illuminating Milanese Faith

The Bertini workshop stands as a testament to the artistic fervor of 19th-century Milan, Italy—a period defined by ambitious architectural projects and a profound engagement with religious iconography. Founded in 1838 by Pompeo Bertini himself, a young artist hailing from Milan’s vibrant artistic milieu, the studio quickly established itself as a leader in stained glass production, crafting masterpieces that continue to grace iconic locations like the Duomo di Milano. Bertini's formative years were steeped in artistic tradition. Trained from childhood in the craft of stained glass—a skill passed down through generations—he honed his abilities at the Brera Academy, absorbing influences from luminaries such as Giuseppe Verdi and Giovanni Battista Crespi. This rigorous academic grounding provided him with a foundational understanding of composition, color theory, and sculptural technique – elements that would subsequently permeate Bertini’s distinctive artistic style. The workshop's reputation soared rapidly due to its unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. Bertini wasn’t merely replicating existing designs; he actively pushed boundaries, experimenting with new techniques and embracing ambitious narratives. His approach was particularly evident in the creation of monumental stained glass windows for churches throughout Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna—pieces that demanded masterful execution and a deep appreciation for symbolism. The workshop's dedication to detail ensured that every facet of its creations resonated with spiritual depth and artistic beauty. Notable amongst Bertini’s achievements is undoubtedly the “Stories from the Apocalypse” window commissioned for the Duomo di Milano between 1838 and 1865. This sprawling masterpiece depicts scenes from Revelation, employing a breathtaking palette of colors—deep reds, blues, and golds—to convey the drama and grandeur of biblical prophecy. The intricate geometric patterns interwoven with stylized figures exemplify Bertini’s mastery of stained glass artistry and solidify his place as one of Milan's foremost artistic voices. Furthermore, the “Stained-glass window of the Old Testament, central rose window” at the Duomo showcases Bertini’s ability to capture monumental narratives in a single radiant bloom of color—a technique that speaks volumes about his understanding of visual storytelling. Bertini’s legacy extends beyond individual artworks; he fostered an environment of artistic collaboration and innovation within the workshop itself. His influence can be seen in the stylistic choices of subsequent generations of glaziers, who adopted Bertini's meticulous attention to detail and his unwavering pursuit of aesthetic perfection. Today, Bertini’s stained glass windows continue to inspire awe and admiration, serving as enduring symbols of Milanese faith and artistic heritage—a testament to the transformative power of craftsmanship and vision.
