Modena - Duomo di Modena
In the center of Modena, where the Duomo di Modena (aka "Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Geminiano") is placed, churches have existed since the 5th century. After the burial site of Modena's patron Saint Geminianus, a former bishop (+397), was dicovered here, the existing cathedral seemed to small.
The first stone laying for the cathedral of today took place in May 1099, strongly supported by Matilde di Canossa (aka "Matilda of Tuscany"). First architect was Master Lanfranco, descibed as "maestro ingenio clarus [...] doctus et aptus".
The Duomo di Modena was consecrated in 1184, but the building process continued. It was finally completed in 1322.
Many renowned sculptors have worked here.
Many of the works, that once embellished the outside wall of the cathedral have suffered from weathering. They have been replaced by copies. The original carvings can now be seen in the "Lapidarium" of the Museo del Duomo, neighbouring the cathedral. It is very intersting to see them from a close distance.
A disturbing exhibitionist in a very explicit pose.
This sculpture is attributed to the "Master of the Metopes", who may habe been a student an follower of Wiligelmo. Scholars see influences of the 12th century art in Burgundy in his works.
