On the Sacred Mount of #Varese, Italy, there is a beautiful Holy Road leading up to a Sanctuary with scenic views of the surrounding countryside. Along the road, one passes 14 chapels in classical style, each with life-sized terracotta #statues narrating scenes from the life of Jesus. Imagine how impressive this must have been before the rise of modern media! #unesco #SacroMonte
This is a picture of the inside of the 9th chapel of the Sacro Monte di Varese. Several life-size, colored statues are visible, representing Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary. The statues skillfully merge with the frescoes on the background walls, creating the illusion of a scene with no defined boundaries.
