책소개

The first part examines the origins and purpose of the Sacro Monte, showing how it was created as a substitute for pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Butler emphasizes the roles of Bernardino Caimi, the founder, and Fassola, the chronicler, while introducing the artistic contributions of Gaudenzio Ferrari, Tabachetti, and Giovanni d’Enrico. He then describes Chapels 1 through 22, from Adam and Eve to the Sleeping Apostles, each vividly visualizing biblical narratives. This section highlights how the chapels combined religious instruction with artistic creativity. Ultimately, it frames the Sacro Monte as a unique space where faith and art converge.

저자(글) Samuel Butler

Samuel Butler was a 19th-century English novelist and essayist, best known for his sharp critiques of the hypocrisy within Victorian religion and morality. He spent part of his youth managing a sheep farm in New Zealand, an experience that later shaped his literary imagination. His notable work Erewhon uses satire and paradox to question social institutions and human nature, while writings like The Way of All Flesh critically examined the Bible and Christian faith. Though controversial during his time, his works have since been recognized for their modern insights. Butler persistently explored the contradictions of human existence and civilization, leaving behind a distinctive literary voice.
