Description:
|
|
Cesi’s extensive work in the church and monastery of San Girolamo della Certosa, Bologna, probably dates to 1595-1600; this included three altarpieces as well as very striking frescoed depictions of Carthusian saints and blessed spirits in fictive niches to either side of the altars. The increasing severity of Cesi’s imagery has been seen as a reflection of the full-blown Counter-Reformation in Bologna, but in this instance the specific ideals of the Carthusians may have influenced the compositions. The fiery furnace (in the book of Daniel) illustrates God's salvation of those who remain religiously faithful; Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, cast three Jewish youths (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) in the furnace but they were miraculously saved.
