Description
English: Stucco fragment from San Salvatore in Brescia
  • Brescia, Province of Brescia, Region Lombardy, Italy

This stucco fragment belongs to the markedly lavish decorative arch covering in the main nave of the monastery church of San Salvatore in Brescia. The monastery was founded as a women's cloister by the last Lombard king, Desiderius, and one of his daughters became the first abbess.

The stucco fragment shown here displays a decorative system of two ornamental bands that run parallel to one another. The upper ornamental band consists of a three-stranded braid. Isolated fragments of colored paint are preserved in the pendentives. Situated in sockets at regular intervals in the middle are rivets that were used to attach the stucco to the subsurface. The sockets are surrounded by five petals. In addition, remnants of colored glass paste are preserved.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Museo di Santa Giulia, Brescia.
Deutsch: Stuckfragment aus San Salvatore in Brescia
  • Brescia, Provinz Brescia, Region Lombardia, Italien

Das Stuckfragment gehört zur ausgesprochen aufwändigen Schmuckfassung des Bogengewölbes des Hauptschiffes der Klosterkirche von San Salvatore in Brescia. Das Kloster wurde vom letzten langobardischen König Desiderius als Frauenkloster gründet. Eine seiner Töchter wurde die erste Äbtissin.

Das hier gezeigte Stuckfragment weist ein Dekorationssystem von zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden Ornamentleisten auf. Die obere Zierleiste besteht aus einem dreiläufigen Flechtwerk. In den Zwickeln haben sich vereinzelt Farbreste erhalten. In der Mitte sitzen in regelmäßigen Abständen Niete in Eintiefungen, mit deren Hilfe der Stuck auf dem Untergrund befestigt war. Die Eintiefungen sind von fünf Blütenblättern umgeben. Zudem haben sich hier Reste von bunter Glaspaste erhalten.
