Volto Crocifisso di Cristo - Pittura di Dino Carbetta
“Crucified Face of Christ - Painting by Dino Carbetta”…
Above the altar of the Duomo di Sorrento hangs a lifelike Crucifix, a profound symbol that has become a central theme in my artistic exploration. My portfolio is adorned with various depictions of this captivating crucifixion, serving as a primary focus in my study of light and the sacred image of Christ. This singular representation of Christ, seemingly alive, exerts a significant influence on my journey in religious art. In the heart of Sorrento, the main church, known as the Duomo or the Cathedral of San Filippo and San Giacomo, shelters this mesmerizing Crucifix. Although Sorrento is not traditionally considered a pilgrimage site but rather a picturesque seaside resort village, the Duomo, with its origins dating back to the 11th century and a complete reconstruction in the 15th century in Romanesque style, stands as a testament to divine beauty. The Cathedral's unassuming facade belies the grandeur within—three naves separated by pillars and a meticulously crafted ornate ceiling. Adjacent to the cathedral, a medieval bell tower rests on an arch supported by four columns. On the day I entered the cathedral, only a few elderly women were engaged in fervent prayer, reciting a novena in the front pews. Respectful of their devotion, I quietly explored the sacred space, immersing myself in the reverent beauty and tranquil atmosphere of the Duomo. In this unassuming setting, I encountered a detailed statue of Jesus that left an indelible impression on my soul. Amidst the subdued whispers of prayers, I was moved by the profound beauty of the Duomo and embarked on the journey of capturing the intimate suffering face of Jesus on canvas. This painting, born from the serenity of the Duomo, encapsulates the immediacy of Christ's Passion and the evolving impressionistic expression. May it resonate deeply, touching the hearts of those who engage with this sacred portrayal's spiritual and poignant unveiling.
