| 説明 | These are some more shots of my Tour to Europe in Sept - Nov 2012. I has been a while since I last saw them.. great to be able to catch up on them at last!This was my last day of the Cosmos Tour Oct 17, 2012 Spain. I took a morning trip to Toledo from Madrid. The Sacristy is a space of great proportions which includes the apartments of the Ante-sacristy and the vestuary with its collection of garments. The Ante-sacristy is a room of rectangular plan, decorated with paintings by the Italian artists Vincenzo Carducci and Eugenio Caxés, also Francisco Ricci and Luca Giordano.The Sacristy was designed by Francisco Vergara the Greater and Juan Bautista Monegro, in Herrerian style. The barrel vault with half-moon motifs is lavishly decorated with the paintings of the Neapolitan Luca Giordano. The principal theme is the Clothing of Saint Ildephonsus with the Chasuble, a theme which is found repeated throughout the cathedral as much in paintings as in sculpture. The walls display a great variety of beautifully framed paintings, forming a gallery of very valuable artworks by several great masters. The most renowned are the fifteen by El Greco, including his El Expolio (The Disrobing of Christ) on the High Altar (in late 2013 this was on temporary display at the Prado in Madrid, following a period of cleaning and conservation work there; it is due to return to Toledo in 2014), framed by marblework and two Corinthian columns. There are also paintings by the artists Luis de Morales, Pedro de Orrente, Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, Juan de Borgoña, Luis Tristán, Anthony van Dyck, Francisco Goya (Betrayal of Christ), Bassano the Younger and others. In addition to the paintings, there is a collection of valuable objects, most especially the Rich Bible of Saint Louis, which belonged to the king of France and dates from 1250; it has 750 miniatures on the cover and 5,000 more distributed in the manuscript pages of its three volumes. This was an acquisition of Alfonso X of Castile.In the next room is the vestuary with the groinings of the ceiling painted by Claudio Coello and José Donoso. In this space are found several paintings: Titian's portrait Pope Paul III, Velázquez's Cardinal Gaspar de Borja and Giovanni Bellini's Burial of Christ. The series of great artists' paintings collected here constitutes a museum in itself.One of its apartments contains a collection of garments that includes a large number of valuable pieces. There is a total of 70 suits here; these include vestments of the 16th and 17th centuries, some embroidered by the father of Alonso de Covarrubias, who held the office of the vestuary. The cope of archbishop Sancho de Aragón, son of James I of Aragon, is noteworthy; it is embroidered with heraldic emblems. Another good example is the cope of Cardinal Gil de Albornoz with Gothic embroidery of scenes from the Bible and lives of the Saints, principally English. The collection also contains the zucchetto and an embroidered lapette of the great tiara that Charles I of Spain wore at his coronation in Aachen.There is an Arab standard on display here also, won in the Battle of Rio Salado, and a collection of tapestry with more than seventy exemplary pieces. There are sketches by Rubens, the gift of Archbishop Fernández Portocorracero, which he commissioned expressly for the cathedral. Some of these are hung on the walls of the cathedral during the feast days of Corpus Christi.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toledo_Cathedral#Sacristy |
