A MASTERPIECE REVEALS ITS SECRET

A journey into the heart of the artistic history of the Dolomites, discovering a work that is as precious as it is little known.

On Monday August 31 at 5:30 p.m., the Civic Library of Cortina d'Ampezzo hosts a new appointment of the Art Meetings with Professor Barbara Fabjan, dedicated to the altarpiece of the church of San Nicolò in Ospitale.

A panel from the 1500s, of German school, featuring Mary, Saint Nicholas, and Saint Blaise, which tells much more than a sacred scene: it tells of a border territory, the cultural exchanges and the routes traveled for centuries by merchants, pilgrims, and wanderers along the ancient road of Alemagna. The church of Ospitale, founded in 1226 precisely to serve these travelers, thus preserves an authentic page of Alpine history.

Through the lens of a highly experienced art historian, the meeting will provide the opportunity to rediscover details, meanings, and surprising connections of a work that spans the centuries and gives voice to the Cortina of the past.
